Check it out here (http://www.petergordon.org.uk/AmigaONE/). :-D

Would you trust a report from a man holding a drill and with such shifty eyes :-D
BTW, nice report :-) . I particularly liked your exploration of the aroma associated with new computer hardware :lol: .

@xeron
soz 'bout that mate

If you must put an image from my server on here, could you upload it to the gallery instead of using my bandwidth, please.
I'm glad you enjoyed the report, though. :-D

@xeron
Very nice report! You write really well, enjoyed it much. Keep us tuned in to future episodes...I need a new machine too, my wife's aging AMD-K6/2 isn't cutting it anymore, the A1 looks and sounds great, but I'll wait to see about OS4. Regards, Art
;-)

This was one of the funniest reviews I´ve read so far and still very informative about the hardware!! :-D:-D
Please make a software-review in this style too (and I don't even care if the review is about Linux, and yes I don't like Linux either) :-D
Hope to hear soon from you.

Hope the OS4 CD won't cut your fingertips :-)
Nice review indeed!

Yeah, that drill bit was scary!
Great read.
How long to boot up? We're you able to make a RAM: disk? If not, it's kind of useless. I'm quite attached to that feature (silly me).
What I'll like about AOS4.0 is the LACK of details when it's booting, like in the linux/xp/98se screens.
AmigaOne! Show a picture of a boot when you boot! Hehe.

hehe.. cool! :-D

I don't know. Interestingly, my AmigaONE gets to a login prompt just as my Amiga 4000 hits workbench (provided that LoadWB didn't crash like it sometimes does from coldboot).

I suppose you can install one. Its not there by default.

Nice one !
I read it from ANN first though .. :-o
I took a few piccies of mine up to the built stage - but theyre on APS film.
I did have a few problems with the Radeon (7000VE in my case) displaying X properly, but a bit of fiddling with debconf, etc, and fbdev, and it works fine.
infact it works marvellously. If Linux is like this, then hows OS4 gonna be ?! :-D
I am still having problems getting it online - I found myself wishing for something as simple to set up as Miami or the Genesis Wizard - pppconfig is ok, but actually getting the bloody thing to dial through the modem !
guess thats what comes of not making sacrifices to the god of Towers ! (though I had enough of that when I used to build dirty cheapo 486's for a living...)

Thats one of the advantages of my network setup (ADSL router). I just selected "Set up network via DHCP". A few seconds later it was all done with no intervention from me. From the first boot, the internet was available.

No chance of a time clocking ? :-D
Anyway, nice review ! :-)
