I'm tired of PC's, update an A1200 or wait OS4 hardware?

Waiting for OS4 hardware hasn't been a good option so far.  Maybe that will change.  I personally think you will get sick of browsing with a 1200 very quickly.  Compatibility with 1200 games can be done well with a PC + WinUAE, but I guess you probably know that.  AFAIK, the A1 must also run UAE, but the emulation will not perform as well as a modern PC with Windows and WinUAE.  If you're just sick of Windows, maybe you could try an alternative x86 OS.

Hi, I don't think it has been mentioned yet, but you should check if your shop actually has the A1 in stock.  Some shops will list a price for hardware that they don't really have, and the A1 is a rare breed.  A number of people have tried to buy A1s without being able to find a source.
