Since when was the pegasos a Amiga?

since I saw it and got myself a peg and can run various amiga programs on it.

same with WinUAE and AROS - all of which I have and play with.

It's "Amiga" because THAT is how I USE it.

It just aint, no matter how much you want it to be. You cannot slap a brand name on it, unless the person who owns the brand give you permission to do so. The fact is that it is Amiga inc who decides what is or is not a amiga and there is nothing we can do about it. They can easily slap the name onto a standard beige x86 running XP and there is sadly nothing we can do about that.

I think most of you dont get my point. I have absolutely nothing against either pegasos or morphos and i would not mind owning one myself. I also believe that the pegasos board is better than the amigaones, but that does not change the fact that amigaone is currently the only ppc board that is licensed as a Amiga.

I hate this licensing crap myself..

I get your point, but I am not connected to any company and at this point in Amiga history what a company claims is simply not relevant to me.

yes, of course they have LEGAL rights and all that, but I'm not talking about that because that's not the way I live with and use "Amiga".

"Amiga" is an idea. not a piece of hardware. and the way I use that Idea it is possible using all flavors of amiga - sure some are more limited than others but software changes constantly. In fact THAT is what makes it fun. New developments happen and with that the thrill of discovery!

For example I've been playing with Lunapaint on AROS. And that copy of AROS is on a flash memory card that's as big as my fingernail (microSD). I would have never predicted that this was possible when I bought my first Amiga2000 in 1989!!!

I don't get that thrill with any other OS.  

and ferrellsl: I totally get your point. As amiga users we need to help each other. If this new program is That great it deserves to get ported to other flavors of Amiga.

If at any time you forget what "Amiga" means, just go back and remember Jay Minor and what he was trying to accomplish. That should set you straight.

Where didi you get it? I've researched in the past for the possibility of booting AROS from usb, and am yet to find a way, could you share it please?

you don't need to Boot from the USB drive. I don't.
here a thread which I asked a few questions to get me started. hopefully, that will also help you. in any case that site is great for asking questions of that type.
