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.

Getting back on topic... As you can see there is alot of feelings about the choice to make. I think the Amiga1 people are a bit upset us Pegasos users have such a great OS with our machine while they kjeep getting screwed and are fed the line of your OS4 will be released soon crap. I recomend you call and see if you can find a Pegasos user in the area, try the machine and it will sell itself. I thin if all these Amiga loving anti Pegasos users tried one, they would love it. I mean realy TRY it. Not just move the mouse and say, "Its not an Amiga" The truth is at present its more of an Amiga then the A1 is.

@everyone
I understand your feelings. Actually I envy all you have clubs members and all. The fact is contrary here. There are no more clubs here. I only know just 1 friend who still uses an expanded A500. Heck, we struggle how alone we are but satisfied by our love for it. That's reason I joined amiga.org to meet ppl, like you guys, who still love and cherished the Amiga and what the future possibilities these new HW/SW could do. I'm still glad we're still together despite some differences. Money is no object. It's the unity. Guys, our Amiga has EVOLVED! It matured!
I hope this thread would not become a debate. It's only a 'choice' I want to make. Actually, If I could afford all I buy them all. Being with no club here is like lonely. Alone. It's hard! You guys are lucky ppl :-). The only thing that keeps me going is my love with Amiga. Nothing more. Please let's just share a unity and friendship and bring back those happy days when we first bought it and share knowledge with it.
Thanks again for your comments. I'll remember this thread as an inspiring one. Good day to all.  :-D  :-D  :-D



Well said. I honstly thing the Amiga would have become what the Pegasos is today had it not been for the way things ended up. Its a natural choice. The team behind the Pegasos is the very same team that was doing just that before it all came crashing down dont forget. The A1 is nice too, both systems have the potential to be great machines. I think it would be best for them bothe to thrive. It creates a way for one to become better then the other, only to have the other improve to overcome.
