I definately agree to some of the postings.

I did not like the way everything was already pre-configured.  I never used Magellan or half the programs on it.  It does make it convenient if it was a new person wanting to quicky install a fully loaded Amiga to see its potentials.

I still and will keep my Amiga 1200 and have OS 3.0 installed since that was the OS I used since I was a kid.  Sure OS 3.9 and such would be a great improvement, but I never was blessed with a fast 060 accelerator.

Only additional programs were MagicWB,MagicMenu, and MagicWB. Lol, i think thats what the programs were called. ;)

@swift240

nice to hear that you'll keep your real miggy. I agree that Amikit may be faster, but the feeling isn't the same as the real machine.

If you carry your miggy to some user meeting ask some user to carry their 040/40 or even better, their 060... and try it in your own machine, you'll see the difference.

Maybe I was a bit too harsh as a 030 is better than nothing, but believe me, a 040/40 is much faster and gives a nice feeling :-)

I sold my A1200PPC last winter. I do *not* regret it. But I only do not regret it because I have also a Pegasos. UAE is handy, but does not replace a native maschine. I rarely use it.

For retro I keep my A600 and may think of getting a Minimig or CloneA.
