I have decided
« on: May 17, 2003, 11:07:16 PM »
After spending a few days looking at what G3 Macs were doing and re-evaluating my software, I ordered my G4 Amiga One yesterday.

@Marky_D_Sahd,

Off topic, just what is that smokey wisp infront of you in your avatar?

(at least I assume its you!)

Is there a nice, big cuban stokey just out of sight at the bottom? :-)

-edit-

I just had the awful thought that somewhere out there there's a similar picture of Monica Lewinsky....


No such luck, I'm afraid (either with the stogie or Ms. Lewinski).  It's just a lens flare caused by the student photographeraiming the camera into the sun.

And while we're on the subject, just what is that thing in your hand in your avatar??

I wasn't really considering buying a mac, just noting that the same "Old, outdated" CPU used by the AmigaOne is the same one used in the newest, coolest Macs.  I know it's not the future for either maching, but it's the present for both, meaning that it's not as out-of-date as I had been believing.
And yes, there is always MacOS On Linux.  But is there anybody out there who REALLY believes that Hyperion WON'T deliver OS4?  Maybe late, but I mean, not at all?
Still too much bob, though.And I hope the developers are still waiting...(Great news on Frogger, today.  And Ibrowse development continues.  And Hollywood.  And it's not as bad as I was thinking, either.)
Thanks, all! :-D

Nuts.  Looks like I might have to wait.  A1-G4's are sold out and on back order.  Eyetech has no more in stock, which makes me ask this musical question:  How many boards were manufactured in the original run?  500?  No wonder they're so expensive!  2500?  But if the first run Pegasos boards ALSO sold out, isn't that a lot of freaky people lobbing out cash for they're Amiga fix?  And how bout those people who are waiting for OS4 before making their purchase?  How many of us are there still in or just on the edge of the community who are willing to take this plunge??

... And yes, I am including BOTH camps AND the G3 board crowd.  Does anybody know the number of either board produced or sold?  (Also, on the side, how many CURRENT PPC owners are looking forward to OS4?  There may still be some sales in hee, yet!  (Hey, developers!  Lookie here!)
