WTF - Amiga 1000x - hmmm.. Not not x1000, 1000x!

Hi,

I actually like the look of the case, it is excellent.

Why don't we all just change the name of this site to mini MAC, since you are all impressed by an old discarded thing like a G4 mini Mac. I don't hear one of you complaining that oh we are using an old obsolete MAC to pretend that it is an Amiga.
At least the new case by CUSA has Amiga on it and not MAC.

By the way in MaximumPC (a famous PC mag for those that don't know) Gordon Mah Ung the deputy editor tells you how to soup up one of C64X's made by CUSA, yes all you old obsolete Mac fanatics, he is speeding up a C64X by buying NEW MODERN DAY PARTS TO PUT IN THE C64X. Can you guys come up with something to speed up that old obsolete mini mac, you know the one even Apple ditched. Just think if they took a great OS like MorphOS and made it run on PC boards, you to could have an ultra fast system instead of a slow, no go (especially for video) modern day OS. But Amiga people instead of taking the Bull by the horns, always go for the bulls hind legs, and you know what you get when you do that don't you know Bull manure (BS) .

I love it.

even CUSA's C64X runs video smoothly. But Gordon Mah Ung,s really makes it run smooth. I wonder if the C64 emulator will outdo that old obsolete G4 mini mac.

That's because Apple hasn't spammed Amiga forums declaring themselves to be the True Unquestionable Future of the Amiga (tm)(r) and insulting anyone who dares disagree. PowerPC Macs are just as much of a cast-off orphan platform as the Amiga itself, at this point.

Hi,

Why would Apple want to spam the Amiga forums, they don't think in terms of hundreds of people, they think in terms of thousands or millions, the 1200 people they have at Amiga.org is probably their daily returns, (old mini macs).

Hi,
Guess that leaves me out, only one thing I hate worse than Apple is Wally World, I refuse to shop there until they start treating their people right, increase their workers pay so they don't have to work two jobs just to exist. It's funny that Wal Mart who has 8 people in the top 25 richest people in the world pays the lowest. So if we go by my rules, CUSA should go bankrupt in 3 days trying to sell at Wal Mart.

I don't really care what Commodore USA does. I also think the C64X was a decent idea, and I might even buy a 1000X case if it looked just like a real A1000. What boggles my mind is reading the comments in that thread in that forum. People actually exist that anxiously await news of this generic case that has nothing to do with an Amiga?! Eek.

Hi,

Well now, I would buy an empty case if the price was right, but, if it is tooo high I would leave it alone, I like the look of the case, but the insides, cheapest of the cheap junk, I would use what MaximumPC used to fill their modern day looking case, load up Amiga Forever on Windows 8 and be as happy as a smerf stuck in a mushroom.

@Smerf. I just realised i can't remember the last time you said anything positive. Is there anything you like?  :confused:

Amiga forever doesn't count because the only time you mention it is to belittle something else you hate   :flak:

Hi,

Sure I like you Kesa,

MorphOS is in so many ways just like amiga os.

COS is in so many ways NOT like amiga OS, and required about 2 nights to develop verses years and years of hard work MorphOS took, regardless of what hardware it runs on.

Hard not to respect guys who busted their ass writing code for years and years more than someone who stuck an amiga sticker on a bog standard pc and did a commodore theme on mint linux.

Pardon us idiots for seeing the difference.

Hi,

I agree totally, I know I couldn't do it,  errrr that slowly of course, I would have done it way faster, but still even though I am kinda great, we should all stand up a give at least one clapp (and not the clapp) for all the guys who have (rather slowly) programmed morphOS and Aros.

Did I say that sorta kinda right.

@Megamig,

[If you wanna support the Amiga you are betting in investing your money on a AmigaOne or OS 4x compatible machine or upgrade your Classic Amiga with such goodies available from Amiga suppliers. ]

That wouldn't go over to well, are we talking about all one hundred of them, ok there might be more.

By the way have OS 4.1 on my PPC 240 mhz Amiga, if you call that progress, I would rather use Amiga DOS 1.0, it was much faster and worked way better.

If I was trying to run Windows 7 on a 486 then I'd probably rather use MS-DOS.

Hi,

Good Point!!

but

Wasn't the original OS 4.0 made for the Blizzard PPC, I could be wrong, but if I remember back that far, OS 4.0 was made to be run on the Blizzard PPC, it is just that things got caught up on 4.0 in court, and by the time things got loose, the Blizzard PPC was no more.

but yes I think you are right.

Thing is AmigaOS is so much more than a GUI. You can't just stick a Workbench screen on a Linux installation and expect it to behave like AmigaOS.

Hi,

Why not?

Cloanto's Amiga Forever did it on a Windows machine, and it behaves better than my Amiga 4000 and my A1200. It even plays CD 32 programs when I insert them in my DVD drive. I don't have to worry about degrading, pal or ntsc, cpu number etc.

Just click on the ADF and Amiga Forever does the rest, real nice.
If they can do it on Windows, I am sure they can do it on Linux. I said it 12 years ago and I will say it today, it is the best way to go, euae and Linux. The only ones who have problems with this are MAC users. Linux is way to complex for them. Who knows if they used it and got used to it, does MAC's may be out the door.

Lets see on my Ubuntu Linux 11.10 I play Amiga games with euae, play Farcry, FarCry2, Half life, Half Life II, Call of Duty, Call of Duty II, Crysis, Crysis II.

Lets see Mac users can play no life, gaycry, call of pooty, Crysis HIV,
