Question to all Amiga owners

[smerf]

Those usual suspect are them those, who say that they have some other hobby OS, wich don't seems to interest them actually, because they write only OS4 threads Those people who haven't loved when they were kids, because they like to spoil other people joy, now when they are adults? Those people who like to hinting that Amiga hardware buyers are stupid, or at least duped? They of course know better than actual owners, how powerless and poor aCube/A-Eon computers are? And want to tell that 100x untill you admit that you are stupid and duped??? So you mean those people? They are quieter now?

Hi,

Well if they brought  out a computer system like Commodore first brought out the C64, then there would be no problem with the computer. If you remember (if your old enough to) when Commodore first brought out the C64, they developed  a magazine for support, and then they also brought out software so you had something to run on your computer.

If these companies done it right, and then offered support, then there would be no problem, but to rely on a couple of mediocore programmers to develope programs for it just ain't going to do the job.

You developed the hardware now support it.

Hi,

@eliyahu,

Who did I personally attack, or what kind of troll did I put out, and in all retrospect just how old are you?

If you have been around Commodore products for a while, then you would know that they did it right when they brought out their first couple of computers by supporting them.

Don't you see the problem with todays hardware hitting the streets, they bring out high priced hardware associated with the Amiga name, but after that there is no support, maybe you like buying hardware with no real programs or software support, but I for one an really getting sick of this history associated with the Amiga name.

This WOW!!! I am now a moderator and I have the power to throw you out because I don't like what you say is just plain loony, so ban me if you want, I really don't care.

If you have noticed here lately, all the real old timers have left for better pastures, and really don't care about Amiga.org that much. I try to help with problems when I see one, and I think all these companies that bring out hardware and no support, are just wasting people's time and money for the Amiga community.

If you don't want experience, and I have been with the Amiga since the very first week it hit the market, and have owned every Amiga model out there, including selling to some big names during the late 80's and also developing commercials with an Amiga 2000, I know the needs for good software support.

Can you tell me your history with the Amiga?

Now that I have attacked you

Bye

Amiga World awaits.

Quite happy with my A1200, well no USB yet but getting there. :-) Besides more fun trying to fit it all into a wedge.

The only thing about the classic Amiga is the crap browser, otherwise it would be very usable as an everyday computer. Which I'm almost doing, apart from my CF Card problems I've decided to go back to a laptop HDD.

Hi,

When you get your USB card for the Amiga 1200, please do this, read the instructions, then wait 15 minutes, read the instructions again, then look closely at your Amiga 1200, then read the instructions again, and then when you think you know what you are doing read the instructions line by line as you do them.

I personally know an idiot that didn't do it, and he burned up his USB card.

OK, I only read the instructions once!!

Can you guess who the idiot was?

Hi,

The CF card problem for the Amiga 1200, can't really help you there, I have tried a buffered 4 way ide thingy from amigakit, works well with regular hard drive but not CF. Now the CF works great for the Amiga 4000 with a Buddha card, so maybe instead of going on the cheap like I did with just a buffered ide, maybe a more expensive one would work with the Amiga 1200.

I have 2 CF's plus an ide CDROM working on the Amiga 4000.
Never could get the CF to work with a CDROM on the A1200. Will work by itself as a hard drive, but soon as I ad the CDROM lock up city.

Hi,

@NovaCoder,

The classic scene on the other hand is really showing some interesting signs of life, with new software, new FPGA hardware and even updates to the original OS (eg the amazing new icon.library).

800x600x256 color Workbench using AGA -> icon.library
=================================================================

What you talkin about NovaCoder?

Am I amissing something here 800x600x256 Workbench using AGA?

HI,

@klx300r

How do you like your Amiga one X1000,

How does OS 4.? run on it, I only have a A1200 and it runs awful, it is slow, and the color (not OS 4.1 fault) is really bad, plus I only get half a screen at 640x400 interlaced mode. Wondering how it runs on a faster machine?

How is software availability?

I am not just talking about games, how about word processing, spreadsheets and databasing. Can it run a video toaster, or can it render in 3D. Can I pop in a DVD and watch a movie or put in a digital CD for music.

Can it play any new games out like far cry 3 or Crysis 3. How does it compare to Linux Mint or a Ubuntu based machine.
