68K forever... but on new hardware, not aging and failing hardware from the 80's :D
So it's FPGA for me. Minimig is the best thing that has happened to Amiga since 1985.

ARM would have been a nice option. I think that is where Amiga will be going in the next few years. AROS is already running on smartphones.

The wasn't done properly as i can only vote on one thing. I think AROS on ARM is going to happen soon. It is already running on smartphones.
 
But i vote MOS as i use it.

I almost allowed multiple choice, but I decided against.  State your allegiance and stick with the consequence!

That's a tough one. I use Mos and UAE on my laptop when i'm bored out and about to play games on.
 
I stick with MOS

Did I just hear an American use the word wank correctly?

And yet some of us do spend time with several of the alternatives. I support them all except OS4, and the only reason I don't support it is because it's too expensive, otherwise I'd be there too.

Cautiously aligning my allegiance with AROS. However, soon I shall have a working A4000 and may need to alter this in the near future.
 
And hats off to the "floppy disks" comment brigade - Wholeheartedly agree, however with one hand on the keyboard and the other changing floppies one has to enlist the services of a third party to emulate it..... :)

The A4000 would be a great AROS 68K machine too! :)

Which is the Best for a Modern Amiga System?


I love the classics and I used my Amiga 4000 till 2005 when I replaced it with the microAmigaOne.

I once tried encoding an MP3 from WAV file off CD on the Amiga 4000 with 68040/25Mhz. Took me several hours.
I loved watching short clips with the assembler optimized RiVA player, but it was skipping frames.
IBrowse is not opening all the sites I want to visit.

My AmigaOS 4 machine on the other hand even if not very fast is still performing okay with the so called modern tasks described above - Movies, Music (more than MODs listening), Internet.

sorry it wasnt directed at you actually, just have hit replay button. i stand to my choice though. aros enables modern features on my amigas keeping backward compatibility and whom it is not enough can have the same system running on latest hardware. for me it embraces just about what os4 has to offer and still some more.

Oh come on, we yanks know what a wanker is.
After all, you jokers gave us the nickname Yankees in the first place.

BTW - What's with the British preoccupation with masturbation?

68K, since I use a A2000 more than anything. BUT I also use MORPHOS.
Who just uses one?
Title: Re: The Reeel Amoeeega Poll
Post by: gizz72 on November 04, 2012, 02:24:12 PM
Aros is the only way to go for me, unless someone would like to junk their G4, I'd like to try out MorphOS then. :D

Dunno where you're at, but I'd take a look around your local recycle center - mine gets whole palettes of retired G4s, you can get 'em cheap since they're mostly plastic, and they usually still work pretty well.

@CJ
I'm from Manila, Philippines. Although most of the junks here are discarded PC which is beyond repair, seldom I see a junk G4s or G3 which is probably pounded to the pcb's lead and copper until you dont recognize them at all. :( Wish I could go there and grab one! Sounds like paradise to me! :)

We could look for a Mac Mini for you here in the US.
Shipping that wouldn't be too expensive.
