Hi guys, I'm from Vancouver Island, BC. I have a C64, A500, CDTV, A1200 tower, and a Pegasos1. Anyone else here have Pegasos or interested in them? :-D
I think there's huge potential in hardware like the Pegasos that can run multiple operating systems, like MorphOS, Linux, BeOS (being ported), QNX (already ported but not released), and unOS. Hopefully one day we will see OS4.
I'd also like to see a new Atari OS, it would be great to see an atari community emerge. I wonder what Atari would think of this? :-D
There are are probably lots of independant computer stores across Canada that build their own PCs, are familar with linux, and possibly also sell new or used Macs. This is the type of company to promote alternative platforms besides PCs that they can also get into selling if there's little or preferably no upfront cost for them.
I see the potential for these stores to service niche markets like the hobbyist communities (like MorphOS and OS4) if they are not already doing this, because in some cases the hobbyists don't mind paying more for hardware if they can get better service than the chain stores.
