the AmigaOne? I cant convince you of that (though I'm sure others could try I wont)... but the Pegasos/MOS I can make the argument that the OS is aimed at bieng modern and in the future will sport modern apps, the hardware will continue to evolve and the community will grow...I dont expect pegasos/mos to overtake windows or even the Linux market ...its aim is the geek/vertical market... I *hope* it thrives in its market...wich is special purpose or vertical computing (i.e STB's,Servers(someday?), etc)... and of course the geek element of its market wich is why we in this community like it I think it... I cannot explain *geek* to someone over the internet in text... its to complex but suffice to say it all boils down to 'why not? its FUN!" ... if ya cant grasp any of that... meditate and think of these objects (fun trick that might help ya) think of 'snow cones' 'AD&D" 'C64' and (recent addition) "PDA's with PalmOS/Linux on them" ... see what it canjurs up in your head...if its scary...go watch some football , buy a beer and try not to think at all its dangerous for you!... if ya like it... crack out your A1200 and play SuperFrog or go check out Aros for your PC
