Hi,

Wow a Mickey Mouse for a Mickey Mouse systems, what more support can you ask for.

When you wish upon a star, your windows machine will crash with a lot of stars.

Hi,

@Everyone,

Well now we talk of Hyperion, so lets talk, I am sitting here with a PPC 603e, Blizzard board in my Amiga 1200, I have been looking for a legit copy of OS 4.0 for it, tried all three active Amiga stores (amigakit, software hut, & versilla if there are more please tell me), none of them have OS 4.0, wrote to Hyperion about buying no answer, WHERE THE FRAP IS SUPPORT FOR MY A1200. I don't want to buy a mini miga, sam flex 440 because once again where is the support?  I see no mags, no commercial software no software companies giving any support at all, just a bunch of amatuers playing around. I have 3 illegal copies of OS 4.0 that don't work from 3 seperate people. Once again where is the support? I have tried icaros on several different computers, no workee, once again where is the support, I have looked at morphos, talk about babble on, didn't see anything on their site that supports a ppc A1200, a lot of MAC support though, and you all know how I feel about MACs, I would rather use a VIC 20 for the rest of my life than use a MAC, worse yet a Z80 computer running CPM than a MAC.

Now CUSA is doing something you don't like, well it is really quite simple, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T BUY IT. To all you Amiga religious fanatic loonies, Jay Miner once said that if he knew that the Intel chips where going to turn into something like the 386 he would have used that processor in the Amiga when he was designing it, but at that time the 68000 and the 8088, or 8086 where the ones on the table so he used the most powerful processor at that time the 68000.

Oh Franko, I know I left out the 6502, Z80, etc. we are talking about newer processors at that time, not hobby chips.

Make it simple people, Buy what you like, don't buy what you don't like, money talks BS walks, That sounded good lets say it again,

MONEY TALKS, BULLSHIT WALKS.

I really hate using that word on a public board, but it might make you understand, I am for the Company that is going to offer me SUPPORT. Not a year novelty, not something that is here today gone tomorrow.

OS4.0 -- gone
AROS -- never here
MorphOS -- never here
minimig -- is it really here? are commercial users buying it, ( 3 amiga stores)
SAM 440e -- right now the greatest hope but is it real, will it catch on.

Hi,

@Commodorejohn,

You know I wish I could live in the past like some of you. The fact of the matter is even my arch rival Apple saw the light and moved over to the X86 type CPU's they saw that the 68000 series and even the PPC chips where going obsolete.

The only difference is -- they had the money and the talent to rewrite their OS for the new Apples, they had their own money and people that could do a restart and make it work.

What does Amiga have, a bunch of darn whiners that whine about everything, they aren't putting any money up, they aren't risking their bankroll but they are complaining about a second chance.

I am not, because I have seen the light, it came about 5 years ago, when Far Cry came out, I said wow, now if they could only put this game on the Amiga.

Well guess what they can't -- comparing the graphics and sound of Far Cry would be like trying to run a game for the Amiga on the Vic 20. It just isn't possible. That's right CJ we are talking games here, you know the things that made Amiga tick. You want to talk Amiga's Cliche -- video processing, guess what it doesn't lead the field anymore, MAC has taken over, and PC is right on its heals. Don't even try to talk business programs or multi tasking, the PC will wipe the Amiga slick today.

So

What would you do if you had the money and the power to start a computer company?

What new innovations would you bring out?

What would your computer do that stood out from all the rest?

Jay had it easy when he built the Amiga.

Hey Mr. Haynee, if you read these boards, maybe you could give us some insight.

How about you Mr. Sachs?

I hear everyone yelling foul, but I see no base hits.

Maybe Im coming at this from a different angle, but what is there to amiga, other than living in the past? Its a retro hobby. Even the most advanced of the next gen options are aiming at nostalgia pretty squarely and catching up a few years of technology.

Hi,

Hey listen here,

The Amiga was probably one of the greatest computers ever made, and I have to say the C64 was pretty neat to, but that was years ago, I am looking for something more up to date that can run the newer games, and at least print out a page of text on me modern day printer. I want a computer that can do something with modern day programming and monitors, without having to spend megabucks.

Seriously man what does it take for you guys to ban this nuisance? I mean really what does it take?

Hi,

@magnetic,

Two bags of popcorn and a coke.

Hey compared to what we are paying for on cable TV today

Franko's show is the best show running on your internet cable, and the best part is it is free.

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

In other (semantically correct) words, not verified.



Actually, I'm just taking a stance against the personal insult-fest this thread is fast becoming. Red can stick up for himself, though he should know better than to fall for goading.

There really is no need to get this bloody personal about it all.

My advice to both of you - go away and do whatever it is you do to relax.

Oh, and screw you guys, I'm going... to bed
