What's this about a OS4 Pegasos kit?

redrumloa wondered:

What's this about a OS4 Pegasos kit? Did I miss something?

Is this just some Fleecy Fluff or is it really something Hyperion is considering?

VERDICT:  :hammer: :roll:

> Edit: And the best of luck to people who are buying A1s for logical
 or personal reasons. But to buy them just because they have the name...
 it borders on madness.

@KennyR; you don't think that buying an A1 solely to run
AmigaOS4 on Twenty-First Century hardware is a more common (& VALID)
reason?

(i.e. compared with CyberstormPPC (maxing at 200MHz?); particulary when
not all classic Amiga owners own A3k/4k with-or without PPC Accelerators!)

To be sure, when the specs of BOTH Pegasos(1) and AmigaOneSEs were
available, on face value it did look like the Pegasos had the
superior specifications (particulary with the included Firewire) . . . . .

 ° But, what then happened? In spite of April1 and April2 -- how many Peg
   Users are running G4s?

 ° I've already read on THIS thread that a Peg Owner(?) doesn't consider
   that the absense of Firewire Driver/s is a concern!

 ° IF MOS is so wonderful, why the desire to have AmigaOS4 on the Peg?

THESE are IMO valid reasons to (if only buying ONE of the platforms) go for
the A1 instead of the Peg!!!

If a low price was the only real concern --
 should not the cheapskates just stick with x86?

bbrv said, at the end of a confusing ramble about
 commercial Cavemen:
 

BIBLICAL NOTE: It was a fruit that Eve had, wasn't it?!

Yes, an Apple no less! Now, think about that and get back here!

No it wasn't --
Gen 2:9 ... the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.

Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst
of the garden, Elohim(Mighty Ones) hath said, Ye shall not eat of
it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
 
 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.

So, no apple, just called the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, . . . . .

A moral story of law -- lying -- and disobedience!

There has been (on this forum) a lot of talk;
 of law,
 of lying,

( To Paraphrase) --- And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
. . . in the day . . . And when the woman saw that the Pegasos was
good for software, and small, and it was pleasant to the bank balance,
she took of the computer thereof, and gave unto her husband with her;
and he did operate it.

 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they put T-Shirts togather, and pulled them on. :-)
