Wow, you think this merits two exclamation points?

Meanwhile...

I'm not fussed either way. Both Pegasos and Amiga machines will come with processors that are not going to be in the bulk of new desktop machines that are to be sold from 2006 onward, and therefore can be considered to be technologically marginalised, and as such are not desirable to me.

Yeah, your Meanwhile link, whilst leading to a very good offer does have one little drawback, will it run OS4?

@mattabat

So, what are you gonna do for future Amiga usage? Use WinUAE and run OS3.9?

What on earth does that have to do with 2006?

Hell, since when was the 68k processor in the "bulk of new desktop machines" sold?! Between no way and no how, that's when!

BTW Mikey, you forgot the dancing bananas

@djbase:

Yes, but for starters, this news item is clearly only about amigaone/os4, so bringing up pegasos/morphos i would call going OT  ;-)

@djbase,

The hijacking of this thread is, well, a bit desperate.  Not only was strobe off-topic, but spamming in violation of the posting guidelines. It also violates the posted guideline about "staying on topic", so it's equally in the wrong.

That being said, I won't edit or delete the comment, because -- simply stated -- I don't need the aggravation of listening to all the "baby blue trolls" whining about "censorship" (when in fact, I would simply be enforcing the POSTED rules), but the incessant need to hijack Amiga-related threads by some seems fairly desperate to me.

Of course, Genesi putting out such a specially priced machine the day after Alan pretty much declares the AmigaOne dead is a typical marketing decision by Genesi management which is designed to fragment the Amiga community and capitalize on people's disappointment from Alan's interview.

In the end, buy whatever you want, run whatever you want.  I don't really care, but the rules are in place for a reason.  All I ask before you purchase either machine is that you do your research and decide for yourself which is a company that really deserves your hard-earned money for a product that may, or may not make it into the future beyond 2006.

June 6th, 2006, Apple will introduce their X86-based  Macintosh, meaning that PPC will -- from that moment -- make up less than 1% of the new desktop market.  On June 6th, 2007, Apple will stop making PPC Macs altogether, meaning that there will be NO viability for the PPC on the desktop.

1985 actually, with the release of the Amiga and the Apple machines, the 68k ruled the desktop for a short while, until Gates and company took over.

What's wrong with just buying and using a machine because it does what you want?
On schedule, and suing

@Mikey_C

Now all we need is some icecream, sauces, and a cherry for a great banana split.
