If you didnt have a Amiga....
« on: August 25, 2004, 02:44:57 PM »
...what would you have?   The DiscreetFX deal below in the news section reminded me of a old machine I used to use (SGI Indy)...  What are your thoughts on that computer as your main system?  Is there alot of freeware on it (like Aminet?)  

EDIT:

When I had the Indy, it just seemed overwhelming on what hardware options were available, what was a 'good system' etc..

weirdami:I dont see a problem w/that avatar. Dunno what Wayne thinks though.


I guess I meant, as a alternative OS what would you want to run?  I've looked at BeOS and am probably going to download it tonight, theres SGI Irix, many Linux distros, next gen "Amiga" OS (a1/pegasos), Windows, MacOS etc..

I like both A1/Pegasos but they do not have any worthwhile software to make the big switcheroo.  It seems as though both just release the boards and hope people will develop enough freeware/shareware to satisfy Amiga users.  Where's the big push to get some REAL applications/games?  I see nothing, hear nothing.
