The users here seems to be using Amiga classics only
(A1000-A4000). That's all ok and cool but I wonder why you
don't buy a new A1?

No, I'm not hired to sell computer, nor am I against MOS if
someone thinks that. I'm just wondering why you don't take
the step.....

Guilty of having and using an A1200, A1 and Pegasos.

@X-Ray:

The spirit of it does not transpose onto the A1 or Pegasos (for me at least).

I was worried about that but as soon as you use either system a little, that 'amiga' feel shines through.
I admit owning and maintaining any type on Amiga these days is expensive, compared to other options.

I guess when I think of purchasing an A1 system, I can also hear the voice of my girlfriend, in my head, asking: "Why do you need so many computers?".

I'm thinking of sampling my girlfriend saying that very phrase, then presenting it to her as a cheezy-rave 'choon', made by utilising all four active computers. :lol:

But, like most things, I probably won't get round to it.

Wilse, how could you!? ;-)

Good question! :lol:

Actually, I've had my A1200 for eleven years. I'm worryingly attached to it. :-D
My main use of it was and still is for writing and recording music.
When the A1 earlybird offer was announced, I had some spare cash and thought I'd pitch in.
Then when I heard that Pro Station Audio was being bundled with the Pegasos, I wanted one of them too. The peg was much cheaper and I was able to start using it much more quickly. It's only in the last couple of weeks that I've started using the A1 but have a feeling it will end up being my main machine. I've yet to record a note on it though. :-P
