Here in Sweden almost everyone I know use A1 or Classic Amiga. If you use a Pegasos you are not welcome in most amiga clubs.

LOL. Why is that?

Here in Finland we have Amiga, A1 and Pegasos users in the same club. Peg users contribute to A1 forums and A1 users contribute to Peg forums and we all contribute to Amiga forums. Everything works in perfect order.

Doesnt matter are you PC user or A1 user or Peg user, as long as it is related to Amiga :-D Why it can't work in Sweden too?

At AmiGbg the conflict was quite obvious. Jens from Individual Computers responded to a question if he would consider supporting pegasos / morphos, with the frase "and a serious question please?" and then continued ranting about Bill Buck being a menace to society.

I know he doesn't like BB... But I don't have personal problems with him and his Catweasel card is getting support from MorphOS software (Frodo).

Perhaps the situation is extreme here, but the amiga community is quite large in Sweden, and loyal to the extreme. Many of us old users have followed amiga for two decades and would probably follow amiga inc through the gates of hell before we switched to any 3rd party solution.

Don't they know Amiga Inc. is no longer in the scene? But you are right for extreme... (Samface, trgse's anti-MOS code and your "if you have a peg user you are not welcome" statement).

It´s really sad. I sold my pegasos II even though I liked it, but everybody else has an AmigaOne here so it got kind of lonely. And I had to sell it cheap to, becauase here we are well stocked with brand new Peg 2 boards that nobody will buy. I should have saved the board and used it as a server, but I was short on cash :(

You could use next generation Amiga when everyone else was stuck with their Linux boxes so your investment wasn't bad at all. If you think A1 suits your needs then why not. It is your money nevertheless. At least you could rejoin your user club now if it was important for you.

But I can't still understand why ban WinUAE, Amithlon or Pegasos users from the club. It is like lonely dark fortress in the middle of nothing.
