Pegaus? Pegasos? I'm surprised you guys included PPCs.

Mine? A 1.25 Ghz eMac under MOS 2.5 (w/ a Powermac waiting for 2.6).

If PPC alternatives weren't available though, I'd go with a 1200 (but Amigas COST too much).

Niandias, don't worry about MorphOS users bugging you about your choice. Use whatever you want. Supporting AOS4 means another PPC user is added to the market. More users for either AOS4 or MOS is fine (software developers usually support both OS').  
We both have to worry about the X86 camp (those that want X86 ports, AROS users, and the Linux fanatics). I'm surprised none of them have posted yet.

Hi,

Not an Amiga, its a MorphOS machine.

smerf

But a PPC system running AOS4 is an Amiga?

And what if an AROS user bought a CUSA Amiga and ran AROS on it? Would that be an Amiga?

Lighten up!

Hi,

Mine would be an A4000, one of the best, true Amiga's. MorphOS couldn't even compare.

My goodness how desperate we have become by claiming a MAC is an Amiga.

smerf

Yes your system couldn't compare because it would be MUCH slower.
And even a Mac running AOS4 (if that was possible) wouldn't be an Amiga, but that might be a good thing (performance wise).

Again, Amiga's just a name. When it comes down to performance, I'll put your 4000 up against my Mac and watch your system perform like the Stone Age prodigy it is.

never that I'd see the day..tisk tisk:( let's call a spade a spade and agree that you have the fastest old Apple computer that can run MorphOS nicely...I'm sure most people will have no problem with that comment....


And your Sam is a 'Miggy' why? Because it run AmigaOS4? It's not even an AmigaOne, let alone an Amiga. And the Pegasos (designed  to run MorphOS) runs AOS4 fine.

You're cutting too fine a line here.

And who gets to decide? How will you compensate when CUSA releases X86 'Amigas'?

Hey, I'm not sure we shouldn't have included AROS and emulator users.

Whatever runs Amiga software.
