Isn't it a tad silly to not buy a product if you don't like the  person who makes/sells it if the product is good ? (Note; don't have a Peg or MOS 1.x so don't know on a personal level if the product is good ;))

I'll have to see A1 and Pegasos working before I decide which way to go. I won't let the fact that I don't like BB stop me from buying a Pegasos, I'm just really fed up of the scene.

I can see myself leaving if no-one grows up (and I know I'm included in that).



Even if I leave, I'll still be using my classic 68k Amiga.


I know how you feel, seems like people think one can only like 1 computer.. Hell, I used to have an Amiga500 (and a +) a 4000, an Atari ST, a Mac... If I could, I would have a iMac, an AmigaONE and a Pegasos nexct to this WinXP box...

But to be honest, this is how it has always been... Ya either  had an Amiga or a Atari ST or a console or a MAc or a PC...  If you had 2 or more you were nuts and a traitor..

When the userbase is this tiny, it is all down to trust. Yes it is important.

Important ? Maybe... IMHO quality products to attract ex amigans back and to get new users are more important.. People that are still here using Amiga OS on whatever hardware and/or MOS are not going away NOW.. They've come to far to quit now..

The ex users and new users will give sh*t about who Bill Buck, Fleecy, Garry Hare, Bill Gates are and what they have done in the past...

--edit--

Think about it, how many products do you buy and have you "talked" with the CEO of the company that makes that product on a public forum ? Sony ? Philips ? Micro$oft ? You think Yoe Average cares if the CEO of Philips is a nice chap or not when he buys a new TV ?

These are not news to see for father of Amiga....  :-?

Well Jay Miner passed away a long time ago.. I don't believe he would find the AmigaONE or the Pegasos a true succesor to his baby, but then, he was the hardware guru, and we are talking OS succesor now-a-day, real custom hardware is a long dream away.. (AG2 stuff right ;-))
