Time to say goodbye.
« on: August 13, 2003, 07:05:06 PM »
I can't wait any longer. Still no AmigaOS4... which for me means no AmigaOne. (I'm not a linux fan).

So it is with sadness I bid you all goodbye. I haven't even been logging into Amiga.org for about 3 weeks now, so the writing has already been on the wall.

I need to move on with my life, and once again put my Amiga-Love back in the closet...

It's been fun.

Why leave Aorg ? I haven't used an real Amiga in years only WinUAE, I stay here to keep a bit in touch with the great community.. Granted, the golden days are over, the community is divided, but overal, these folks are ok, they help even if you have a "stupid PeeCee problem"..

@Jar

Check the other alternative before you leave.

People say it feels and looks just like an Amiga.

(but it's just a "Commodore" compatible, like it is said at morphos.net )    :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

yeah, there are alot of choices right now. why give up. I've had my hands on a pegasis with MorphOS. it's fast and very cool indeed! and you can run several programs you already own AS IS!
plus, there are a few programs made especially for MorphOS.
I'm using WinUAE on my laptop. works great. and i still have my original amiga.

why give up now?????

if you are going to go, go and don't look back.Iam going to hang about for OS4 and if things don't improve after the release it will not be long before i call it a day.I have no real desire to be one of the minority anymore waiting years for software to be ported and games,drivers e.t.c.

I can't blame you for beeing tired of waiting ...

But what has been said above makes sence ... You could go for the Pegasos or just wait a little longer and get OS4.

We have waited so long for new hard and software and now that things start rolling you leave ? ...

I think you need to give abit more thought and stay with us ... :-)

I genuinely hope you come back when MOS is more mature and you find your place among the Peg users.

@everyone else

this is a prime example of why Genesi is 'NOT" destroying this community... they are in fact keeping people here who might otherwise leave. Therefore they are the force of good :)

As seer said, there are plenty of people here who aren't intending to get new Amigas.  Besides, there is now one concrete product and OS4 is clearly nearing completion.  Why not just hang around and see what happens?  See what people think of OS4 when it's out.  If you're desperate for an Amiga fix, then I'll grudgingly admit you could get a Peg (but you'll be kicking yourself when OS4 comes out :-P )

@Jaruzel

I genuinely hope you change your mind, we need good people like you around here :-)

I came to a similar conclusion as you almost a year ago, but instead I bought a Pegasos. I have not regreted it. You should consider it. Just a thought.

Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Anyway i waited for about eleven months for my a1 and i have no choice but to wait for os4 .As your tired of waiting you should go for a pegasos it has plenty of support and is very compatable with existing amiga software.
I once had an amigaone xe but sold it .

You wont even try MorphOS? is that it, you quit?

I cant see a reason to 'leave', amiga.org is for people who use 1meg A500's too, you don't need an amigaone, I don't have one, and i think using amiga.org is fine.

Again, no need.

Some people don't seem to realise that the amiga is about more than just everyone having AmigaOS 4, if it was about that, where would the other amigas go, if not amiga.org

is a windows based forum only about windows-XP?
