The money is in the hardware strobe.  By the G5, we assume you mean the Mac?  The PIII will be alot less than that machine and the G3 version will be cheaper than the eMac.  Remember, the idea is either a low cost alternate OS platform (with MorphOS as an added bonus :-D)  or an ultimate inexpensive (relatively speaking) SuperGeekTweak machine.

Is that more clear?  :-D

R&B  :-)

One happy day coming to a close here in Paris...:-)

Just posted THIS over on MorphOS-News.  We will try to answer some of the questions above too...

TMHG, well yes, that is what we meant!  :-D  We should have a fairly "cool" machine running then with MorphOS and all the other OS possibilities from AROS to Zeta!

ikir, G6 Pegasos 43?!  Sounds like a American football audible...;-)

realstar is right amigamad.  Different horses for different courses.  The focus is on the G3 and 970, not the G4.   You need to understand that the information we posted yesterday was carefully considered and done intentionally.  We have taken a thoughtful position.  We hope it is understood and appreciated.  Frankly, the Pegasos I with April 2 is a good machine.  We are proud of it.  Look at what has been accomplished with a few hundred motivated users!   In six months we might even be ready for a broad market introduction and be taken seriously by the IT market -- at least the geeks!  :-)  BTW, thanks again for changing that avatar...;-)

Senex, thanks for your support.  We really appreciate it.  We saw the translation on Amiga-News.  Great!  BTW, how was our German?  8-)

AmiWest should be a memorable experience.  

Happy SuperBundle Sunday!

Raquel and Bill

No problem!

:-)

Just remember we are trying to eliminate CPU speed from the marketing discussion/buying decision.  The issue is what WORK (activity exerted through power or faculty applied to perform a task) can be accomplished in the time allotted -- not how fast we ran to accomplish the work!

WATTS HAPPENING!  PegPower!

Get it?!  :-)  

Power provides a measure of both the amount of work that is done (or, equivalently, the amount of energy expended), and the time it  takes to do it.

power (in watts) = work (in joules) / time (in seconds)

That is where WATTS HAPPENING comes from in terms of the Pegasos!  :-D  We need to get people thinking this way -- power and faculty -- is more than just CPU speed.

R&B  :-)
