I have never seen anyone getting their posts deleted for just mentioning pegasos... I know it is biased a bit towards amiga, cause they even admit that themself.. Amigaworld is a amiga community site, which has nothing to do with pegasos which is an entirely different computer. Amigaworld should be compared to a site like morphzone, and not compared to such sites as amiga.org, which is a site aimed more for both platforms.

But still, i have never seen any post getting deleted for just mentioning pegasos, unless there has been some serious trolling going on.

You must just face the facts... Pegasos/morphos has nothing to do with amiga, other than it is compitable with some amiga software. A pegasos is a pegasos, while amiga an amiga..

I dont think morphzone would be happy if amiga users came spamming their forum with messages like this: "Pegasos sucks, get a amigaone.."

An Amiga is an Amiga but an AmigaOne is a TeronCX, a board which is very similar to the Pegasos and shares the same number of similarities to the original Amiga - absolutely none.

The difference between Pegasos and Amigaone is that amigaone is licensed by Amiga inc, which owns the Amiga brand.. Since they own the brand, they can slap on the Amiga name on a x86 if they wanted too...
I agree that boards are quite similar, but whoever owns the brand name, is the one who decide which one is the real amiga..

So saying that Pegasos isn't an Amiga while TeronCX is just because Amiga Inc (who don't exist any more) say so, is rather ridiculous

Have missed something lately?? Has Amiga Inc gone out of business or something?

So an x86 box would be a 'real Amiga' if a particular company put it's logo on it, and said 'there, it's an Amiga'.

Yes! If the owner of the amiga brand does that, then yes it is a real amiga, wether we like it or not..
I personally think that the classic hardware design"custom chipset" is what made amiga special though..

neither pegasos or amigaone seems very appealing to me now.. AmigaOS is great and all, but without the custom chipset it is just not very appealing in my eyes.
