Which Amiga OS Is Used Most...

[Franko]

I'd have to agree.

GIVE ME CELEBRITIES, I WILL CUT THEM UP AND BUILD MYSELF OUT OF THEM.

I agree with Tension about the Derrin Brown, just when I came across the Eddie Izzard pic with that haircut, beard and tash Tone007 spang to mind...

(wonder what other celebs we can find to donate to Tone's new project... :lol:)

On a side note, just before I logged in I was looking around ebay and spotted an old iMacG5 going for £250, dunno why but I ended up bidding on it and got it for £325 + £25 delivery, then I noticed the seller only live 7 miles away from me, crazy thing is he won't let me pick it up and insists on posting it and I should get it by Thursday, Gawd I could be their and back in less than 20 minutes, crazy or what...

[Franko]

There are one or two of us who have had music careers

If that's really you in the pic, then you must have been in one of those 80's bands like The Human league, ABC, or Spandau Ballet, I'll wager...

(or perhaps the pics to throw us off the trail and your were in The Wurzels instead... :roflmao:)

[Franko]

Argh.  That's a lot of money to spend on Motorola architecture, you could get a nice Intel Mac for less and do more.

Edit: read too fast, didn't realize you'd won it already.  Best of luck!

The G5 iMacs are still nice machines.

The intel ones sell for well over £500 here on ebay and I've tried the one I've just bought before and it runs a hell of a lot faster than this G4 (you can actually watch youtube vids properly on it)...

My money's burning a hole in my pocket right now so I just had to buy something to keep me amused...

[Franko]

I reckon it should suit me, as I really only want it to be able to access the net more quickly than what this G4 can do, and the little play around I had with the last G5 I tried things like iDVD and iMovie ran at useable speeds on it.

I can put the G4 on ebay and get around £250 -to £280 for it quite easily as they very rarely go for much less than that here...

[Franko]

Well, crap.  Let me buy them for $100 here all day and send them over that way.  I'm no stranger to international shipping!

Might be a nice little earner if you can get them for that price, seems people over here (like me) pay some crazy prices for stuff on ebay...

[Franko]

Ere, Tone007, you seem to know quite a bit about macs, if I could pick your brain for a minute with a quick question...

What would be the best & quickest way to transfer my data from the G4 to the G5 when I get it, I was wondering if I could connect them up with a firewire cable and do it that way...

Cheers

That is me in the pic... and I fear you may be closer than you think

Wow... a real live member of the Wurzels is amongst us, give us a quick chorus of "I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester"... :lol:

Can I have your autograph pleeeaase... (luved the Wurzels I did)

Joking aside, gonna have to do a bit of detective work here and find out the REAL band you were in, I have a couple of ideas but need to double check first...

PS: Thanks for the info on the Mac, I'll see how it works out sell the G4 and if I decide to sell the G5 I can easily get my money back on it and buy an intel one instead...

Nah, your taking the P here.... aren't you... :confused:

If not then I apologise, I really liked that very professional and polished piece of work, gonna have to start adding your stuff to my music collection...

@ Desiv

I don't think anything in this thread is related anymore, but what the hell, it's kinda interesting...

[Franko]

Actually yeah Though I'm a synth guy, so I'm more Depeche Mode!

-Edit- my nickname is actually a clue!

Depeche Mode was one of the bands I was thinking you may have been in and thought that was an old photo, but I couldn't spot you in any of the pics when I googled them...

Still now we know the answer, can I still get your autograph, might be worth a few bob on ebay one day :lol:

[Franko]

And the rest of that quote from the movie Blade Runner is:
"I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate."

Any band named after a Blade Runner ref is a great start..
And Depeche inspired/influenced on top of that??  

desiv

Yeah, spotted the Blade Runner quote straight away, best version was the Directors Cut though...

[Franko]

SHOCK... are you guys trying to say this poll was rigged, It kinda reminds me of the results when George W Bush and his bother Jeb made an erm... little discrepancy with his second term results... :eek:

But of course this poll is more important than electing a president...

[Franko]

@ amigadave

It's an iMacG5 PPC iSight 2.1Ghz 20" model as I got for £325 that's the best deal I've seen in months on ebay, just wish I could have collected it as the seller only lives 7 miles away but he said no and it's costing me another £25 shipping and I have to wait till Thurday to get it, crazy or what...

here's a link to the current ones on ebay

UK Ebay Prices For iMacs

If you keep your eye on them you'll see the silly prices they go for over here and it's always within the last 15 minutes of the sale that thing go mad.

But thats the problem here for folk like myself, if you really want it it's going to cost you...

(Wish I could get hold of them at the prices you have in the States, could be even richer than I already am...   )

[Franko]

COR Blimey... :eek: I nodded of for a few hours more than usual and come back to find all hell's broken loose... :whack:

I just hope that flak jacket your wearing Karlos is armour piercing shell proof as well as the bog standard bullet proof type... :uzi:

C'mon folks , hold the bus, whoa , stop getting you knickers in a twist, take a chill pill, pass the valium, have a nice cup of tea & a chocky biccie...

It's only a wee silly poll started by a nosey bugger (me) who was just trying to get a rough idea of which OS was generally the most popular amongst the users here.

It's not as if this was a government election being held in Red China where if you did or didn't vote the outcome would always be the same, also your not likely to get life or disappear if you didn't vote or the way you did vote was not liked by the party leadership, erm... at least I hope not... :nervous:

There are more important questions in life to be answered and taken more seriously, like Why is their always a sock missing every time I do a wash or Why do old pensioners smell so bad....

Love, Peace, Harmony, Chill Man... :afro:

(Gawd... and my shrink say's Im mad... :rolleyes:)

[Franko]

Reckon this is the best way to end this poll...

[Franko]

I've got lots of old single socks if anyone want's them... (free to a good home... freshly washed...)

(this thread has gone to pieces... just noticed someone's nicked me meds... couple of likely suspects just above methinks... )

[Franko]

Think I've found a potential market for those of you with one odd sock collections... :lol:

@ Iggy
Not sure what meds I take anymore (too many to count and I can't even pronounce the names...) I just follow the docs advice and "keep taking the tablets"...

(erm... what was this thread all about again... :confused:)
