Amiga Coldfire project dead?

[bloodline]

I bought my A1200 on the day of release for £399 from Dixons.

No software with it whatsoever apart from the Workbench 3.0 disks and a voucher for a game from Ocean.

@Matt

Do you still have an Archie? If so, perhaps you could send it to Pavel or Michal and see whether AROS performs better than RISCOS on it?

Nope, I never had one... Though I do have RedSquirrel emulator on a hard drive somewhere

@Karlos... It would be a bit weird... All the old 80s/early 90s machines running an AmigaOS clone... One OS to rule them all!!! :-o

Bought my from currys few months after it came out.  I had the sleepwalker pack

Let's face it, the best OS to rule them all

One OS to rule them all,
One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all
And in it's Amiganess bind them!
In the land of AROS where the miggy's lie.

I like that, very nicely done...

But as you've changed MORDOR for AROS dose that make AROS the baddie ruled over by the evil Lord Sauron...

Has anyone ever told you people that you're intensely strange?

I grew up with Star Trek geeks.
Watched most of my adult life as they contested with Star Wars geeks.
And since before I was born, there's always been Lord of the Rings geeks (at least they read).

So how many of those three categories do each of you fit into?

[EDanaII]

"I am but geeky north northwest. When the wind is southerly, I know an Amiga from a Black and Decker."

Now that I've paraphrased Shakespeare, does that make me a Shakespeare Geek?

Or does it mean I was using Shakespeare in a somewhat cheeky fashion?

No...that's pretty cool actually. Although it probably throws you in the last catagory (since you obviously do read).

[tone007]

I'm not a geek, I'm a cool dude.

[Iggy]

I'm not a geek, I'm a cool dude.

Sorry, amend the term 'geek' to 'fan'.
Although ever since the Big Lebowski, I'm not too sure about the use of the term 'dude'.

[EDanaII]

I dunno... I suspect that you'll find many Amigan's here are well read intelligent people. There will be exceptions, of course, but I think that's a fair assessment of most.

On the flip side, if I were to pick a negative for this community, it has always seemed to me that a majority of Amigans are dreamers. I.e. think about lots but do very little. I certainly _can_ fall in that category.

To be clear: dreaming is good, doing is better, but if all one does is dream, one does nothing.

Anywho... gettin' a little off topic here.

@ Franko:

I suppose it does if you tend to think of that poem as the ultimate evil. But I prefer to think of it as the ultimate in Amiganess.

(Of course, there was I time I applied it to M$ and our Dark Lord Gates.)
