Hi,
Well it has happend! At the beginning of this afternoon my A1 arrived at my home. I am still at work so I am dying here at work. But tonight, YEAH!
Coder
With a tear in his eye. :-)
-
Woww! That's great news! Congratulations! :-)
(/me can't wait to get his Pegasos...)
-
It's always fun to get new toys. It's just bad that this one doesn't come with the right "batteries" (OS4). Hope you are familiar with Linux. :-)
-
Congrats, Coder!
About bloody time too, considering how early you ordered it :-)
Have fun :-D
-
WOOHOO!
Finally :-D
I hope you have a few of those Belgian beers left. This deserves a drink.
:pint:
Might have a few myself when I get home. Stella :-)

Well it has happend! At the beginning of this afternoon my A1 arrived at my home.
At last!
I'm truly, sincerely happy for you Coder.
You have the patience of Simon Templer. ;-)
I don't think anyone waited as long as you.
Enjoy your beers, too. :pint:
-
@Coder
Oh, bugger!
I thought you were going to tell us how to buy beer when your account is empty! :-D
That means that we won't be seeing you for a while then... ;-)
Congrats!
-
He said he is. [familiar with Linux] And I'm sure he will have fun. :-) Even if it's without OS4, but hey, it's one half of the final product, and it works. :-) For some it's half not getting what he wanted, but I think it's rather he has got half of what he wanted :-)
-
what A1 did you get g3 g4 ?
-
You got it at last,
I have been reading about your bad luck since you ordered it (what was it about 8 months ago),
so I am glad that you have got it at last,
I hope I dont have to wait as long for my XE ;-)
-
@Wayne
Hope you are familiar with Linux.
Yes. I will be working with Yellow Dog. :-)
Coder
-
you lucky bugger im waiting for me A1g4 800 looks like got a bit longer to wait yet but good for you have tons of fun
-
@poweramiga2002
what A1 did you get g3 g4 ?
I got the G3 (SE)
Coder
-
OMG Miracles DO happen! :-D ;-)
Well you know what you have to do now right?
:-D :-D
-
congratulations we will all get our a1,s eventuly 1 user a week i think it must be. little bit longer for g4 boards maybe os4 will be ready when they ship the g4,s in febuary :-D :-D
-
Congratulations, Coder!
I wish that was me, but I suppose it would imply that I had ordered one :-) Money is a cruel invention.
Please make a small review of the hardware for us :)
Sincerely,
-Kenneth Straarup.
-
Oh yes, don't forget to write a review. We are full with AmigaONE/Pegasos users, but not an overall review so far... My intention is to write one when I get one, but maybe I will forget it in an instant when I actually get it too. :-)
-
@Warface
Oh yes, don't forget to write a review.
Off course. I will keep coming with postings about my findings. :-)
Coder
-
Congrats!
Now you've got your A1 you'll be feeling a little:
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
But cuz you're at work you'l be feeling a little:
:-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
But wait til you get home you'll be:
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
All I can say now is:
ENJOY!!! :-D
-
About 40 minutes left before I can go home. :-)
Coder
-
yo, i'm happy for you and will take a rip out of a miniature-ceramic-toilet pipe in you honor. not be offended, its a super clean hitter that meddles with the beautiful scent very minimally..
myself i'm waiting for os4 preinstalled, prechecked and prerecieved rave reviews from Wayne himself. I'd like a double-G4 but there isn't any reason aG3 wont compete nicely with my demands (mainly to set up mp3s of my own music+video swipes/titling)
while i primarily use standalone devices for all my actual recording/ editing/ mastering
Octamed (together with even some slight hardware back) is still extremely powerful by all standards. i hope there will be an os4 version. i just love all those zeros that can be filled up with numbers and letters... back in the day it wen't great with bong hits around the clock while jaming, listening to the results, recording to a 4track together with other instuments.....got a bit carried away,, haven't i?
oh, we nostalgic farts....
-
sorry, double post ...
-
@ Coder
If I could, I would drop by tonight with some beer :-)
Too bad it is too far from my home.
I really would like to see the AOne in action, while being able to "play" with it ;-)
Anyway, Congratulations !!

Coder
two...
:-P
But you have an A1 to play with, I only have my 1200 :-(
-
Glad you got it eventually :-)
Sure hope we don't have to wait as long for OS4 from now...as you did for the A1.
Anyway let us know how you get along and do tell us what hardware you using with it to :-)
Good luck!
-
YO Vincent! what are you doing???
Stick to the bong dude!
Those chemicals you are holding can certainly kill you! :-?
yo, dude DONT DO IT.. please...
there are much better (not to mention safer) ways to celebrate a chum!
-
To be honest I don't have a clue about what I ordered back then. I think an ATI gfx card. Whatever, I will see it when I open the box. :-)
Coder
25 minutes on the counter.
-
surely a definitive review cannot be done until OS4 is out? I mean, thats what the A1 is designed for!
Can`t wait for my XE
-

Errrmmmm.... Those chemicals are not for me, they're for re-animating the dead! :-D
-
let the dead rest in peace dude! its bad enough they didn't see A1s in thier life time...wait a minute, need some spare corpses? :-x :-? :-x :-?
just kidding, stick with the bong!
-
Glad to see you finally got your A1 Coder. I hope it serves you well
and gives you many hours of happy coding and general fiddling and
tweaking.
Hopefully I will have my A1 soon, ordered it back in march aswell but
switched for G4 option.
-
Coder hasn't recieved an A1!
he recieved what might soon contain the A (os4) in A1, therefore establishing it an A1.
what he has right now is a ppc box of linux....
blaze one for the nation!
-
@ Coder
That is way cool. I too am glad for you. I am jealous as I wait for my Amigaone.
"Off course. I will keep coming with postings about my findings."
As you have the time keep us update on the how to, as I am not a user of Linux, so, I will be watching :-)
-
I am happy for you. Hope it will work allright (with your chosen memory modules and stuff like that). I am looking forward to see your first post here on amiga.org from that A1 (in linux (and of course even more from OS4)) and I hope that you are able to put together some kind of a review and post it here. Try to make it as unbiased as possible and include your personal reflections and feelings from different stages (opening the package, putting the HW togehter, turning the power on and installing Linux, bootin linux and using it, and so on) ...
I just feel a little bit sorry that you can not use it as an Amiga at the moment. But that will hopefully change in the near future.
Personally, I will soon be home to my Pegasos With MorphOS, hehe ... ;-) :-D
BTW, how much memory did you order? I got 512 MB, and GOD was that an overkill in an Amiga envireonment!!! ;-) I had been away from Amiga for a while and was kind of used to the wintel boxes standard when I placed that order.
Well, at least I have a nearly unlimited RAM: drive! :-D :-D

Octamed (together with even some slight hardware back) is still extremely powerful by all standards.
Processor power is of course nice. But everyone doesn't need a rendering-farm-kind-of-super-computer, and you (as a normal user) would actually be surprized by how far you will get with a G3 @ 600 MHz in a PPC native Amiga envireonment. :-)

I'm sure you'll have something interesting to say when you head back to work tomorrow.
I can't wait for my G4 to get here... In February or March, I guess. I'm not really in a huge hurry for it though - at least until OS4.0 is ready.
I got to play around with OS4.0 briefly at the Ottawa Amiga Show, and I am really looking forward to seeing it at 800mhz.
Either way, I have to admit I'm somewhat jealous.
-
So where are all the reviews?
The mods here were wondering why there are x thouasand signed up users but only a few of them active. I've been haunting these parts for awhile (since last august) and have been patiently waiting for a good, solid, in depth review. I havn't seen any yet.
There has to be at least 1 A1 and 1 Peg sitting in someones house being used.
If you don't want to write a review up, send it to me! I'll do it.

@AmiNTT:
"I'm sure you'll have something interesting to say when you head back to work tomorrow. "
What makes you think Coder will be going to work tomorrow? I reckon he'll be phoning in "sick".

Congrats Coder .............. :-D
One thing though ...........................
Poor Imation !! :-o
She's soon gonna see your A1 as a rival for your attentions, so dont forget to twiddle her knobs as well !! :-o
:-D :-D :-D :-D
-
Congrats, Coder! As with any new hardware, I wish you
many long hours of satisfying frustration. ;)
-
Hi,
Friday morning, back at work. That sucks. Anyway, the A1 is in a fine shape. But I got some troubles booting the Installer CD. First indication was a badly burned cd so I re-burned it again. But still the same prob. So it is something else. Now I am ruling out several things that can cause the prob. Tonight I wil go on with it since I ran out of time early this morning.
Coder
-
@Coder
We want to know everything! Spill it! First impressions...?
What was in the package that you ordered?
.
SlimJim
-
@SlimJim
What was in the package that you ordered?
The SE (G3) with 128 MB Memory, 40 GB Maxtor HD, ATI RADEON 7000.
It's really great to work with it. Now I only need to get it to boot cd's. :-)
Coder
-
You're making me jealous. Thinking about it more, everyone having an A1/Peg makes me jealous. :-)
-
@Coder
I got an error when booting into PPCBoot and then inserting a CD. To get around this 'Magic' error just type 'ide reset' and the cd will be read.

@Rassilon

I did but does not work. Sometimes I even get a bunch of error numbers while doing a ide reset. It must be something else. :-)

See, this is the trouble when I only pop onto the forums occasionally. I miss out on all the in jokes. You see, Coder is in Holland, Imation is in Thailand but there is The_Editor suggesting Coder can "twiddle her knobs as well".

"Friday morning, back at work. That sucks. Anyway, the A1 is in a fine shape. But I got some troubles booting the Installer CD. "
I do not know if you know, but you should not be able to get some help from the A1G3DEV mailing list. It is my understanding that new owners will be added to the list. So, if you do get stuck, try the mailing list.
Good luck and waiting to hear more news from you.
-
Can you post some nudie pics of it please? :-D
Congrats! Enjoy your new hardware :-)
-
its a Homer Simpson moment:
'Mmmmm naked computers ....' (sound of good ol HJS drooling into his duff) :-D
still ya got all weeking to muck abaht wiv it - all ready for your report !
I want it on my desktop 1st thing monday morning !!
-
@Warrent
but you should not be able to get some help from the A1G3DEV mailing list.
I am. :-) I am allready on the list for a year now. And there is good support coming from. :-)
Coder
-
Congratulations Buddy! Its not fair, you have plenty of beer and an A1.... :-D
Anyone wanna buy my Car. Insurance companies are buggers, and I gotta get me an A1!!!! I'll then be able to show Tamar what an Amiga is. Shes just got herself a new Sony Viao.
Why is living so dam expensive - i'm up north, its meant to be cheap.
Anyway - back to work :-)
-
Congratulations Coder!
I'm eagerly awaiting those A1 pictures...
-
Damn, lucky you bastards! :-D Just kidding, but lucky you yes! I assume you mean the A1G3SE, right, cause the A1XE are delayed until February for sure..
Still waiting for my A1G4XE...Boring waiting...ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!!!!
I simply can't wait to get my hands on the mobo and build this power-house, and run AmigaOS 4, and laugh on the face on every arrogant PC-users! The time for the long-expected revenge is near completion! PC-users, it's time to wait for a real threat this time..:-)

Hi,
Short update:
After 1 day I got my A1 to boot the installer cd. It was a memory problem.
Now I am in search for a new driver for the Ati Radeon 7000 to get the X-windows system setup.
Coder
-
You mean no Radeon drivers on the CD ?
And that after hundreds and thousands of betatesters have
been working to get several Linux-distros going ?
Concentrating on one working distro may have been wiser ;)
But didn't I say I would get mine before yours ?
And that is ordering 6 months later :-P :-D :-o
-
@Kronos
There are drivers but I got some probs doing certain things wich is a result of the driver. So I want to make sure I got the latest driver.
Coder
-
KDE has been having a nasty habit of quitting itself on mine. So I'm just leaving it until OS4. Can't be bothered with Linux. Come on OS4!

@Mountain_Myst
Don`t worry it`s from a TV advert for tennents lager.
And no it`s not me, just a pic I came across on one of those funny pic web sites. :-D

Yeah, there are a couple of altered clones here of him too!

If that is Imation on her avatar then that is pure photomodel stuff. Very beautiful.
any chance of a 1024*768 wallpaper? :-D

Exactly...
Whoever that is a picture of.....
She is truly beautiful.

She even beats METAL's avatar! :-o

While we're waiting for coder to get back with us, I thought that everyone might want to see how well the google translator works on french..I think it's french.
So here it is....
French turned into english by the google translator!!
À-Come is felt to us to being the CTO/VP of Amiga Inc.?
E' be a lot moving but me incute also much fear. Moving because e' nearly like being a child in a store of dolciumi, having your company to put molding on to your piacimento (even if a lot soon you become account, also like technician, than the world they e' constituted for 90% of reunions trades and quarrels on who take how much). Frightening because like CTO of Amiga, everyone expects from you the support of the own version and the own dreams of cio' that e' Amiga, than in realta' e' one what much staff. Not there e' however null' other that I would wish to make of piu' (that mandera' in depression the not little persons).
-
@Mountain_Myst and Desolator,
Thanks (blushing here :roll: )
and yes that's a pic of me. But how do I look in real, ask Coder :-)
Imation
-
Hey coder...
Get over here!
I have to ask you a question!
Is imation as beautiful in real life as she is in her picture?
-
@Mountain_Myst
Is imation as beautiful in real life as she is in her picture?
Even better. :-)

Ah, Coder, you just don't know how to do this right :-D
"Even better" ?!
...When you could have written:
"Oh, Imation? - She is like the sun's gentle rays shining
down through the newly-sprung leaves one early spring
morning. She fills my eyes and heart with such blinding light
that I could not even begin to comprehend the extent of
what she makes me feel - and even less descibe it to you
people, who have not had the fortune of seeing her in all her
real-life splendor. The photographic technique is simply not
good enough to catch but a mere fraction of Imation's
beauty and grace."
Now that's how you commend a girl's beauty. :-D

What you should have said is this...
my question was, "is imation as beautiful in real life as she is in her picture"?
He should have responded, "Mister, there aren't enough pictures in this world neither are there any words that can be spoken that can accurately describe the nature of her beauty".
and yes mz, this is my real picture.
Got a problem with it?
You guys are just too much! :-D
-
Hey wait just a minute here iamaboringperson...
I know that face.
I've seen it somewhere before.
I know who you are....
You're that comet chaser aren't you.
You're that dude that was on t.v. about 5 or 6 years ago.
Made all those people believe that a ufo was behind that comet and led them all to thier deaths.
Am I correct?

Now you are discussing about my beauty?
Of coarse. Discussing your attractiveness is far more pleasurable than any number of flames that could have popped up over the real topic!
Think about it, what sounds nicer:
post-1: "Hahaha F00L, you're going to be using linux forever!"
post-2: "What are ya' talking bout ya' MOS freak?!!?"
post-3: "Growl! You I KILL"
OR
post-1: "Hubba Hubba!"
post-2: "Imation is like silhouette cast in time, an eternal beauty forever etched in my mind."
Well... after some of the other posts as of late... You decide. Then again, even the quick to worship the ladies posts are disturbing in their own way. Nope, sometimes a thread just can't win.
