Greetings!
« on: January 15, 2009, 04:34:46 PM »
Hello,

I'll try to stay short...

I'm a guy that got bored from OSX, not mentioning Windows and Linux past marriages and is eager for some new retro adventure.

Yet in December I came across some information about Amiga.  It was just a flash on the screen, I don't remember the webpage but anyway...  I was searching and learning, through and through, thrashed my all Christmas (I am to blame)... And eventually I found all I needed, ending on the urge to HAVE a new OS4 on my new fancy sam440 soon.

What else - about ancient times...

I had Atari 65XE, then NES, then my beloved A500 1MB (my first TRUE game was Wolfchild).  After selling it (I got new hobbies in high school such as metal music, tons of beer and stuff) I haven't had ANY computer for some four-five years, then a few pieces of some PC garbage, then mini mac and... thats all for computing and gaming.

I am also a mobile/wireless geek with some experience;  I used to have a few palmtops, cpen, some cells under Windows and Symbian, but it started getting boring, again.

My background... I am a math-IT&T-Bioinfo enthusiast, experienced anyway.

My last source of fun: getting OS4 boot on my MacMiniPPC!!! (Yes! it works!)

What I wanna do here is... exchange some ideas, infos and memories, maybe do something useful (programming??? why not! OS4 deserves it!).

End of story.  I am talkative, aren't I?
Was: Mac Mini PPC running MorphOS 2.4
Now: Amiga Forever 2010 with AmiKit and AmigaSYS
Not used: Icaros Desktop 1.2 (reason: no wifi)
Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)

Say what?

You mean some other members' badge?
I checked what you say and found nothing for the time being :)

But if this is a case anyway, well, it happens!
Still, some things are worth trying.

If it messes with anything here, I am to change it.

Actually maybe I should have checked that first (?) whether it collides with anybody.  Talking about some forums' gold standards, I am pretty green because it is my first registered forum ever (seriously).

Maybe I should get some forum 101 ebook before I make some mess here...

@ amigadave

Yeah! I wish to help finishing this MacPPC port.
I did some heavy programming in my life (XP methodology; you're through it, you're a psycho).

So I think it's just a matter of time.  What is to be done anyway?  Just the ethernet and music I suppose?  Then it (OS4 @ MacPPC) becomes mature enough to use it for REAL on this very hardware.  Real budget fun for anybody.

I will, Indeed, step into some hard core geeky section that deals with the case.
