and seeing what happens next.


Am I the only one thinking that it resembles to Dr. Sid from Final Fantasy? :-)

Fair nuff.

I am hoping that if I reply in a similar vein to Mips he might get the point and quit with it right here and now.


It's pretty improbable. Answers like that to flamebaits are  just more fuel to the flame.

In theory...

Will AmigaONE be less fawlty if Pegasos is fawlty too? Will AmigaOS4 arrive sooner if MOS 1.4 has bugs?

I pretty much doubt that. P-O-I-N-T-L-E-S-S bickering.

Not to mention this time you went OFF TOPIC. Now we are in orbit, how cool... :-)

I should have added but will do now: this applies for the Pegasos->AmigaONE, MOS->OS4 directions too. :-)

Don't want to ruin your day, but MorphOS has 2D support for Radeon cards up to 8500 (and somewhat beyond), and Radeon support for OS4 is evolving nicely too. Having 3D is just a matter of time as well.

Both AmigaONE and the Pegasos uses (except the motherboard and the CPU) cheap PC hardware parts.

And are VERY fast even on mediocre HW by today's standards, compared to either Win/Mac/Linux, even when 68K emulation is involved.

AmigaOS sure have drawbacks, and it takes effort and time to eliminate them, but on the other hand it has an excellent, I dare to say unmatched architecture.

IMHO of course :-)
