Exactly my toughts (when i'm in a positive mood)  i'm telling myself OS4.2 will be much better.  All I want is to play at least 1 or 2 games using real 3D graphics and watch a DVD movie without crashing the system once in a while....  

But frankly after the 4.2 update its gonna have to be a real improvement to convince me not to get my 1200$ back....



This is what happens when the people with the "name" legacy decided to follow stupid developmental paths. Specifically, spending all the years of time and resources on porting to exotic ppc hardware instead of porting/creating games and applications and porting crucial technologies to amiga os.

But as you can tell from this thread and others the fanboys are happy as about 80% of them with NG hardware do exactly like you, barely turn it on. One guy even said he just turns it on to do updates then puts it back int he closet. thats a good one.

That's very sad, all retro hardware (even the NG stuff) should be used regularly, if you don't use it (and enjoy using it!) then you might as well sell it and let someone else get some fun out of it.

My A1200 get's turned on almost every evening :)

I was running Elude's 'Shake Off the Dust' last night with my new full screen mode (Indivision Mrk2) and it was awesome to watch :)


It sure is sad. Lots of "hoarders" even with NG stuff. It seems alot of fanboys just want the ng system in their sigs for credit in the amiga forums then you go on their ibook or windows computers and troll against morphos and stuff haha

and yes I LOVE watching Demos on my a1200. I have a fast dual core laptop that runs latest Amiga forever, which is a good platform to watch amiga demos, but seeing the demos on the real thing on rgb monitors is the best!

It's like they're saying that OS4 is not up to the job so you're better off with running some other OS on your OS4 machine, this seems very strange to me.

.[/QUOTE





That is what they are saying. Its NOT "up for the job" however, morphos is almost "up for the job" And why is that you ask? Because MORPHOS DEVELOPERS SPENT MORE TIME ON SOFTWARE THAN STUPID EXOTIC HARDWARE PORTS.  Simple.

And the sad and stupid part is that they STILL have  this model for development.

PS The MOS comments, I don't have a problem with MOS at all but a MOS Mac and an x1000 are completely different machines to me and neither affects the purchase of the other, if need be I would have both. If MOS for Mac G5 is finished I will purchase a licence for that too and a G5 Mac to run it on but not before G5 distro is released.


G5 support has been out for some time now.. afaik.

If you want to run os4 its probably the best platform for it. If only the software was worked on it could be a viable alternative platform.
