Hey, that must be amigamad you're aiming at!!!

Did I win a cookie??? If not, why did I bother participating? Oh yeah, that's right. He had that one coming ;-)

Anyway, I have two things to say about the site:
1: Nice, looks _excactly_ like an old version of apple.com ;-)
2: When you go to www.pegasosppc.com you expect the "Location: " bar in your browser to say www.pegasosppc.com, NOT http://64.246.37.205/. Whether or not the title bar says PegasosPPC.com really isn't all that important. It could for all I care say something _useful_ ;-)

9 out of 10 for style, 2 out of 10 for configuring web browser.

Also, is it true you can use FFS2 on MorphOS? Or is this like the "supports dual G5" "advertising" that in no way should be called a "lie" because a "lie" can only come from Amiga Inc?

Ooooh, I'm soooo gonna be moderated for that one.

Hmm, seems I was a bit quick there. However, dual G4 and single G5 was used in the advertising:


"Over here we have the CPU slot. You can put a board inside here, with a G3, a
G4, or a G5 on it, and there can be a maximum of 2 CPUs on the board. Over here
we have the memory connections, the IDE connector, the AGP connector, and the
PCI slots. Over here is the FireWire connector for internal usage, and on the
backside of the machine we see the two FireWire connectors for external usage."

From a certain film on aminet... So far I've seen single G3 boards, no more, no less. For the AmigaOne I've seen single G3 and G4 boards, and a dual G4 which is not yet shipping to end users.


"There's an IBM PPC 750 on it. And this is a G3 CPU, so it's one
of the lowest models of the Pegasos currently available with this card inside.
But soon we will have a double G4 in it."

Oh yes, you certainly will. Sorry bout that, but I just had to.

Anyway, this movie was in fact really funny, because noone had thought to remove the 3 minutes of debug in the OF when making a 5 minute film. So you have 1 minute of yada yada yada, then 3 minutes of nothing, then 1 minute of opening windows before end credits. Gee, that was professional.

Again, sorry. But one might see a tendency to market things a weeeee bit early from a certain company ;-)

And about staying for a MOS presentation: Nah, been too busy to worry about you guys. You can take care of yourselves.
