Title: Does anyone near me own a pegasos??
Post by: spihunter on July 10, 2003, 05:16:18 PM: Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for anyone that lives in or near NC USA that has a pegasos. I'm thinking of doing a MorphOS
Demo video. I cant afford one right now so I'm looking to team up with someone that has one

Thanks,
Paul

However, you can apply for a phree Pegasos board with MorphOS from http://phinixi.com. Thanks must go to greenboy and the rest of the people there, and also Genesi (particularly the office in France which sent me mine ;) ) - as yesterday, I recieved a phree board, cpu, t-shirt and morphOS cdr.

Thanks guys!

I wouldnt want someone to drive that far!!. I was hoping that someone that lives in NC would reply so maybe I could come to them. I might need to use the machine more than once. over a period of a few weeks.

Thanks for the quick reply though.

Yea, there are several Amiga people here.
None of the people I know have a peg though :-?

I sent Genesi a Email about it. I havent heard back
from them. I'm offering a free service to them so
maybe they could just loan one out to me?

There may be a few April I and April II boards available through the Pegasos Summer Sale (http://phinixi.com/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=26)...

Would I count as developer? I could probably
afford the 299 G3 board.

Post by: lempkee on July 10, 2003, 07:15:51 PM: spihunter: nice , good to hear that someone actually wants to do a video review etc,
also which aint such a bad idea if its done cleverly enough , imagine all the shops who make take this and amigaone's and pegasos2's in stock...in the nearby future.

making a video for the market as its now, good idea but try to talk them shops (who actually does have a office/shop and open for all) to play such a video etc , would make alot of sense.
shops like this does excists still on amiga and most of em has pc there aswell, so some pc people mightvsay... hay....nice...whats this... i wanna buy one...etc...

but ofcourse u need to discuss this with the respective owners of the brand , ie genesi (for pegasos) and hyperion/amiga for os4/a1 etc.

a nice idea, with some balls/guts this could be a winner..

cheers

thats when I will get mine in the US.
