Which to choose? 'Red pill or Blue pill'

[gizz72]

Greetings,

I need advice here. After reading the AmigaUser turned Peg2 user article earlier. I'm in a tight fix now. I can't decide weather which one I should consider for upgrades. A peg2HW and MorphOS or PeeCee based machine running emulated AmigaOS. I know it's a bit personal but I want to upgrade my classic A1200 besides playing games on a day-off or making beautiful music together. Need specs as well. I just want to merge both work and play in one machine.

Which to choose? 'the blue pill or the red pill?' kind of analogy here. Your advice(s) is/are greatly appreciated. :-D

It's your call, though - what do you want? Older stuff only faster, or newer stuff?

Hmmm that's tough one. It's like letting go of the past and moving on, or, leave my old games so I can play better games. Got so many games I love on Amiga that I can't leave. Anyway, that's where my A1200 comes in to fill that gap, but it's still a tough choice for me. On the other hand, my love for 'newer stuff' also kicks in. Although I'm not sure what it 'feels' like to drive a MorphOS, but my curiosity over takes me sometimes. It's the same feeling when I knew the first A1000 back in '85. I'm impressed with Morph as well. I still could not make up mind. Unless someone could give an inspiring answer.

I was hoping it to use it on games and programming. Playing games while developing a few apps(using VB, DB2 server) from office work as well. Sometimes when the need arise, web developement is one of my budding interest too, paint programs comes in to fill that. As well as Web Server. I was hoping I could do both in one system. Does A1OS and MorphOS is capable enough to meet my needs(play old games fast and do newer stuffs as well)?

Good day to all Amigans! :-D

Ahh the Amiga! 'Isn't it worth dying for?'
 :lol:

So can I still do office work(VB stuffs, office Xp, DB2 server) under MOS?

Good day to all Amigans! :-D

So I should 'Re-insert myself into the Matrix' and take the 'blue pill'. :lol:

So it 'taste like Chicken'  'but it's not.'

hmmm. 'what a mind chow!'

:lol:

Good day to all Amigans! :-D

Greetings to all,

 Your responses are important to me. Thank you all. In due time, I'll be able to find the right one. It's quite a choice. With this community, your being one is the most important of all despite some differences. I hope that pety issues will be resolved with new solutions and alternatives on the works. In the comming days, the best practical solution will hit me. I'll have an idea of my new system. Thanks again for the support and shared experiences. I'll probably post my progress again soon. Again thanks to the Amiga Community. In any ways, Amiga still rules and rocks my world. Who knows, 5 or 50  years from now I'm still be using the Amiga(on a 'Nebukadnezar':-P ) no matter what happens to 'ZION':-P. Only time can tell. Thanks again.

Good day to all Amians!  :-D

@sdesros

Personally I would be overjoyed if there was a JAVA virtual machine but I'm not counting on it.

So Jamiga is not enough to fit in a virtual machine role? Really?  :-(

Greetings to all Amigans!  :-D

@everyone
I understand your feelings. Actually I envy all you have clubs members and all. The fact is contrary here. There are no more clubs here. I only know just 1 friend who still uses an expanded A500. Heck, we struggle how alone we are but satisfied by our love for it. That's reason I joined amiga.org to meet ppl, like you guys, who still love and cherished the Amiga and what the future possibilities these new HW/SW could do. I'm still glad we're still together despite some differences. Money is no object. It's the unity. Guys, our Amiga has EVOLVED! It matured!
I hope this thread would not become a debate. It's only a 'choice' I want to make. Actually, If I could afford all I buy them all. Being with no club here is like lonely. Alone. It's hard! You guys are lucky ppl :-). The only thing that keeps me going is my love with Amiga. Nothing more. Please let's just share a unity and friendship and bring back those happy days when we first bought it and share knowledge with it.
Thanks again for your comments. I'll remember this thread as an inspiring one. Good day to all.  :-D  :-D  :-D
