Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

[Methuselas]

Of course not.

[Methuselas]

I do wish them the best, but I also wish there were a really cheap PPC solution for running OS4!

You mean like a Mac Mini?? :griping:

[Methuselas]

I bought this for what an X1000 will cost!



Maybe I should paint it like a boing ball.

Wow! Tone, she's beautiful. Is that a '64??? O_O

[Methuselas]

It's a curved window sedan, which makes it a 73 or 74 Super Beetle.

Oh yeah. I now make out the vents behind the rear windows. Didn't see them before.

I thought that their may have been something out there that would have at least given me something of the same feeling that I had when I purchased my very first A1000 or C64, but no, all I was left with was the feeling that all they wanted to do was sell me a piece of kit that was for nothing more than browsing the internet.

I'm sorry, but the "2 grand" you would have spent on a machine now, is *VASTLY* superior to "what you had when you purchased your very first A1000 or C64".


This is the *ENTIRE* problem with the Amiga Scene now. You're trapped in this fantasy world that someone, some tiny, obscure company consisting of less than a dozen employees is going to create the "new" Amiga that will take over the world, when IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Eventually all our miggies won't be able to cut it when it comes to "computing". Facts of live. The Amiga is getting left behind in the dust and people, like yourself, like Hyperion, who insist that going against the "modern computing" direction is the right one, are the reason Amiga users are ridiculed and considered "fanatics".

Delusional..... :roflmao:

[Methuselas]

As for your incredibly stupid comment that 'all our miggies wont be able to cut it when it comes to computing', what a load of utter gobshite you speak.

I use Maya, ZBrush, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, Painter and After Effects, just to name a few, on an almost daily basis. Name *ONE* Amiga, even the Next Gen's, that can do that. Gobshite......... I wasn't aware that Gobshite = Delusional.

I have said before and I'll say it again for someone like you who obviously can't understand simple english, I am more than happy to use the Amiga for ALL my computing needs and will continue to do so, for as long as I have the money to keep them going and am able to buy parts/replacements to do me the rest of my lifetime, understand now, numpty... :rolleyes:

By all means, use your Amiga for "ALL my (your) computing needs", but not all of us are able to do that. That's not our fault. We didn't make Commodore or the like go bankrupt.

I'm going to quote you verbatim, in toto here:

"However having spent a couple of days this week trailing around the shops I can now safely say that the 2 grand I was willing to spend shall be staying in my pocket. The simple reason being nothing I saw impressed me in the slightest."

Yes, you weren't impressed, 'cos there's nothing out there that's more impressive than 4096 colors, 4-channel stereo, 32 instruments, 8 sprites, a blitter and a male and female voice. :roll: An IPHONE has more "computing capability" than a decked out A4000, with a PPC card, BVision, etc *AND* it's smaller, not to mention cheaper.

PS: Apart from the spelling mistake in your 'Facts of live' ! bit, if you believe that what you say is a 'Fact of life', then you a total dunderheid as well... :biglaugh:

It's called a typo, Moron. I've been around here a *LONG* time and most of my friends on here, well, we don't care about typos and certainly don't use that as a "slam" against someone, trying to infer intellectual superiority. Wow..... I'm so hurt......you got me. Gee, I don't know what to do.

And since you're so up on "common grammatical errors", English, since it's a language, should be capitalized. Also, that should read "....if you believe that what you say is a "fact of life" (you use quotations here) then you're a total dunderheid as well..."

Not being that much interested in PCs or Macs (even more so now), I didn't have any idea what it would cost to buy a decent set up.

I can build a greater product with less than a grand, that would run circles around your *BEST* Amiga and it *STILL* runs all the same Amiga software you do, faster and more efficient, through emulation.

Zealot Trolls.......

Gotta love 'em.

[Methuselas]

This thread is descending into a nasty flame fest. Everyone, please be polite or this thread will be closed.

Gotta love the new Ignore List feature. :lol: Sadly, the trolling has become a bit vapid as of late.....

There is a video editor in Blender. I haven´t really done anything with it, but it looked rather promising.

Trust me, it's nothing, compared to Premiere and After Effects, or Shake, which has been discontinued, sadly.
