Pegasos review thread volume II (The on topic thread)

@Wayne:

I am waiting on a check from my employer so that I can buy the memory, video card, etcetera needed to build my machine. Once that's done, I'll start evaluating. I got a chance to tinker with Targhan's Pegasos machine Saturday during a visit and I can honestly say that I cannot wait. I am also buying a new digicam so it should come in especially handy.

Yowzers! I though you were an X86 only man these days and not remotely interested in any new "amiga-like" machine if it was on PPC. Guess I was wrong - sorry.

@Everyone:

It wasn't that long ago that I was convinced I'd never say this but:

I have ordered mine today. :pint:

@tmhg:

Did you have any problems in finding a dealer with Pegasos'es in stock, or did you get one from Phoenix?

The lovely Phoenix people! :pint:

the whole reason I got into the community again was because of the AmigaOne DaveP ... then it soured for me when I heard 'rom' and 'dongle' and whatnot bieng thrown around... and then a gust of fresh air...the Pegasos... but my point is that it is quite a big deal... it's not something to 'ignore...

What exactly does this 'dongle' on the A1 stop you from doing and in what way is the Pegasos any different?
The way I see it, at the moment, they're both in exactly the same boat. You can't run MorphOS on an A1 and you can't run AOS4 on a Pegasos.

Until that changes, your point is not only completely irrelevant but also misleading.

That's why I'm getting both!

@greenboy:

Am I going to have to come over there and take that Pegasos away from you, Wilse? ;  }

Aarrgggghhh! :hammer:

Me locks the doors, boards up the windows and hides the peg..oh! It ain't here yet!  :-D

Seriously, I look forward to hearing some great music from you and seeing you cranking out audio for the apps and games developers.

Indeedy-oh! I can't wait to get my hands on PSA and start putting it through it's paces.

And it's been a pleasure making sure you and the others get what's coming to y-- er, get your Pegaoses ;  }

I appreciate it very much.

Cheers! :pint:
