I was an Amiga user from 1990 up until 1994 when I started University. At Uni, we (obviously) used PC packages and although I did try to get by using PCTask (my first programming assignment was written in Turbo Pascal using an A1200 with only a 40MB hard drive and an extra 2MB of Fast RAM running PC Task) it was just way too slow. In the end I sold the A1200 and bought a 386 PC.
I never gave up on the Amiga though... I would occasionally visit Amiga IRC channels (where people would often call me a sellout and "PC Luser"... which was quite hurtful at the time) and I would run UAE from time to time.
A couple of years after leaving Uni (I think this was around '99) I bought a used A600HD from the local paper with loads of games for nostalgia, and remembered what I'd been missing. Soon after I got an Eyetech A1200T with 040, CDROM, 32MB RAM etc and so on and so on until the middle of last year I had an A4000T with CSPPC, Mediator, Voodoo5, SB, Ethernet...
Around this time I started to believe all the hype that OS4 was "nearly done" and I trusted AInc (!) to deliver everything they had promised. So, I joined up for the "I am Amiga club", and sold my A4k on Ebay in readiness for the new Amiga that was just about to be released....
Anyway, 10 months and dozens of broken promises later I finally got a Pegasos and I love it. It doesn't just live up to my expectations, it surpasses them in every way. MorphOS is simply fantastic.
As for MOS users jumping in and telling people to look at Pegasos, well why wouldn't they? If you find something good don't you want to tell people about it?
If you see a good movie don't you tell your friends "Hey, this movie rocks, you just have to watch it!"? Well, it's the same with Pegasos users...
