Amigaone X1000 - 3 years in.
« on: August 17, 2015, 12:14:36 PM »
This week, I will have owned an AmigaOne X1000 for 3 years.
I was an ardent classic user and this machine was my first AmigaOS4 experience.
Despite the surprisingly glacial pace of OS development, I have enjoyed the X1000. AmigaOS has developed steadily during this time and is much more stable and feature rich than the update5 install I first encountered.

I am constantly impressed by the third party developers out there who invest their free time to create interesting and sometime essential programs for AmigaOS

The usual old bug bears continue to gnaw at me though;

The promised AmigaOS4.2 license still hasn't arrived.
Half of the CPU is unused.
The onboard ethernet driver continues to be locked away.

I am not ranting about these things (lord knows there have been enough threads that have), but it would be really nice for AEon and Hyperion to get together and produce a formal news release detailing the current position on HW/OS development...

Not until my PASemi releases it's magic blue smoke!
