What about a good office suite.  Does one exist for MOS.

OS4 seems to be taking forever so I am seriously considering a Pegasos.  Some questions.

I use BT Broadband.  Are their drivers available for those stupid little BT Voyager USB modems?

As for transfering MP3's.  Buy a CD/DVD Burner.  Much much simpler.

Actually in the UK the Pegasos seems to have a higher hardware spec.

The cost for me doesn't really matter, it's the longevity of the hardware.

MOS, however, do tend to be ignoring one major fact.  When it comes to 3D hardware Nvidea rules the roost, at least in the UK, but no drivers! No support for this hardware.

I just don't feel 100% that MOS is the way to go.  I'm not 100% convinced that AOS4.0 will be delivered and trust me, I have been waiting many many years.  I'm not totally convinced that Eyetech will maintain it's alegence to AOS4.0.  It has found other markets to support it's hardware and Pegasos does seem like the better hardware option.

Oh. Decisions decisions.

I think I will go with my instinct.  As clever as MOS is in emulating 680x0 software, and as current as the operating system is.  I will wait.  Until OS4 that is.

Having a re-think on the Office Suite statement that I made earlier.

When PC's were business machines.  Spreadsheets and Databases were all the machine was good for.  Use the PC for advanced office suites and let our Amiga's (no matter in what form they may come) be interesting and diverse and look absolutely fantastic.

Yes, I take it back.  Lets run our Office suites through emulators that run faster than the actual PC's.

Oh no.  I've gone off on one again.
