Well as the writer of the Article I can see how its a hard choice for you. I was dead against the Pegasos before I used one. I saw the light I guess you could say. Since you have an A1200 you dont need classic game compatability. The Pegasos wont do that for you. What it will do is run just about all the system friendly apps and games in speeds you never dreamed of. The system feels like an Amiga, there is no question about it. ITs much more compatable then I ever expected. The price is fantastic, and it looks great. At present there are more apps then for the A1. IBM and several other LARGE computer companies have signed on as partners. I see nothing but great things from this machine in the near future. I would get a G4 and leave the G3 alone. Trust me, you wont regret it al all. At first its a bit plain, but when you get the classic librarys installed and dress up the looks of MUI its a fantastic machine to use.
