Looking better all the time!  Any videos of it in operation?

I have another run of 8 being prepared right now.  Just waiting on more parts to come in.  The next run of the first gens will be using the t5630 so its a bit smaller client,  but it runs everything great

Man, this sounds like fun.  I love doing old setups like this.  Taking old stuff and making it new again, etc.

Here's a picture of three laptops I just did, each one is from 9-12 years old. Each was given to me as "junk", to "send to electronics recycling". But instead I took pity on them. In each one I upgraded the processor to the fastest chip supported by the motherboard. I maxed out the ram, upgraded the hard drive to a larger, faster model, and upgraded the wireless card to modern standards. I also added Bluetooth to all of them and upgraded the video card and/or video memory. Each one then got a new battery, charger, heatsink/fan, and various other tweaks as needed, and a fresh install of the operating system.  Just like with Amiga's, breathing new life back into this old stuff really gives the "warm & fuzzies".  Kudos, carry on!  

Edit: you can see the edge of my "spare" Amiga 2000 underneath the left corner of the desk.  One of these days I'll get around to working on her!

Glad to know that the bottom-feeding lawyers are still alive and well in  Amiga-land!  Just in time for the "Better Call Saul" premier this  weekend, which I'm sure they'll all be watching for more ideas!  

:angryfire:  :angryfire:  :angryfire:

This is almost as dumb as that other guy being threatened for £2000 for releasing that free "Smurf Rescue" game.  Geeze.  Guess they'd prefer to not have the sales!

What the hell is up with that source?  I'm not a member of that forum and rarely (i.e., never) look at it, but all I see is post after post reading: "Edited by Mod:  This has been addressed"  Is it common on that forum for comments to be deleted/edited by mods in that way?  How is anyone supposed to what the original question even was?  Granted, it is Franko, so it's probably BS questions, but...  I dunno.  It just rubs me wrong.

My source link goes to a readable posting, the source of my quote. I realize it's difficult not to read further postings in such a thread, but my attempt was to point only to the words of the owner, to avoid 2nd or 3rd hand opinion on the topic.
Anyway, the entire thread without deletions was preserved for posterity, but I don't call the unedited version a healthy read really

LOL.  So much drama in our little scene.    Oh well, that's what I figured, anyway!

BTW I run circles around your PPC box with my 68k environment

This sounds like an elementary school playground.  My 20-year-old computer is faster than your 20-year-old computer.  Hehe.  :lol:

@c64man, thats a great unit and I just want to say keep up the good work. I would like one and will probably get it in the next couple months.

+1  People on the Internet got nothing better to do than nitpick and argue all day long, lol.  Don't let it raise your stress level too much.

Didn't AROS have to change it's name, as well?  (what it stood for, anyway)  %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!, the only people getting rich off the Amiga name anymore are lawyers.  Ridiculous.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Change it to http://www.the-os-that-shall-not-be-named.org

Looks like that's available!  :hammer:

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

It's not available ^^
