Hello again after 3 whole years
« on: February 14, 2006, 02:57:02 AM »
Hi to all again....

  Since 1990 with an Amiga 500 and since 1994 with an Amiga 1200, I was waiting for a new Amiga....

  After 10 years I came across a big dilemma.... AmigaOne or Pegasos. I purchased Pegasos G4@1Ghz in September of 2004.

  After of 1 and a half year I changed my mind. I can't live without this name, this name that changed my life. The name is "AMIGA".

  When I see AMIGA now (everywhere, on internet, on magazines, even on some greek magazines like an article), tears are running from my eyes...

  I can't live without AMIGA. So I decided to sell my Pegasos and try to buy an AmigaOne instead. MorphOS is very good I must say, but it's not Amiga, for me it's a clone, if anyone likes it or not, that's the truth for me.

  I want AMIGA again, like the old glory days, I want to be really happy again. From where I can buy a brand new AmigaOne motherboard?

  I want AMIGA computer, AMIGA software, everything that writes AMIGA on it.

  As I said, after 3 years (Phantom206 was my previous nickname and as I wrote 3 years before): "Everybody say to buy a PC, buy my HEART says to buy an AMIGA"...I will follow that...I will follow my heart once more, like in 1990, like in 1994....like in 2006...

  A big thanks to all Amigans out there that keep Amiga alive and makes it even better...

 A big thanks to the father of Amiga, Jay Miner, this man needs a big statue really. I'm sure he had never thought that this "machine" could change a man's life completely.

 Thanks... and I am very happy that I am back to amiga.org again.

You must buy it second hand these days, as the production runs were completly sold out and most people think that eyetech wont do another run.. :-(
There is a other board running OS4 in developement though, but it wont bear the name Amiga afaik..
No people seems to know a eta, so we can only wait...
There is also a new accelrator for a1200 in developement, which is supposed to be released anytime now, though i dont believe it until i see it. This board can also be used as a standalone machine or can be hooked up to a1200 for access to the old a1200 chipset. This one will also run OS4.

Both projects has been verified by hyperion.

Hello there.
I would have kept the Peggy.

Okay I'm all up for the keeping the Amiga faith, but I to also have a realistic side to.  Amiga is a long, long, long way fro m being what it was (if it will every do that.)  That was way back when computing was in its infancy.  Nowadays you have game systems that have 30x more power then most supercomputers in the day, you have litigation, red tape, software patents, mergers. It's a different world. Much different world.

I would just wait for newer boards to come out, that will have more current support.

welcome back. I think I saw your posts at morphzone. Also the avatar seems familiar.

I don't get why you needed to stop writing here because you bought a pegasos ? There're pegasos folks here too, (including very knowledged ppl like piru) it's not forbidden to be a member of multiple boards, as far as I know.

You should be aware that this statement includes crap that's been advertised at amiga com.

Btw, if you're really keen on joining the "red camp" you should also check amigaworld. Most A1 users gather there.

Not to mention a range of sanitary towels.

I don't think he cares what the product is as long as it's got AMIGA written on it .

Hi.  You know, you can just get a pen and write 'Amiga' on a fast PC (or your Peg).  Should satisfy those cravings.

Hi,
you should have a try with an Aone at a party first !

Did you know that you can also intalled "WB 3.9" on MOS ? And that will mostly make it like AOS 4.0  :-)

You can also buy a Theron board and put a AmigaOne Proto on it  :-D

Hi,

Welcome back - lots of people are waiting for AmigaOne (or OS4 capable) boards.  Check out http://www.troikang.com/ for the Amy 05, which is (hopefully) coming out soon.  
Personally, I think that OS4 release is now overdue, and they are losing potential customers by delaying further as people sell their ageing hardware and move to UAE, or worse - windoze.
Still, better 'right first time' than 'hello, my name is Bill Gates' :-D

OK i didn't mean it for real...I didn't mean that if you give me a Yugo Zastava with Amiga stickers I will buy it :P (I was just saying my feelings...)

1. How I can run AmigaOS 3.9 on my Pegasos system? (I hope not through emulation, otherwise I don't like it)

2. Do you know when new AmigaOne motherboards will come out again?

3. What is your opinion? Sell Pegasos and buy an AmigaOne motherboard or just keep the Pegasos one and don't buy anything.

its good to see that some of the blue, have come to their senses. and now admit that there is only one amiga....

welcome back phantom!!

soon there will be new amiga hardware and the amigaos4.0(that now is done!) will be bundled with it. so now is the rigth time to return :)

its a good choice to sell that pegasos now, when you still can get some money for it. everyone know its not an amiga and never will be, its just a clone as you state in your post. this machine will soon collect dust and be worthless....

you have done the rigth choice, nothing can beat the feeling of the real amiga!!

So want an amiga?
lol
ever considered the ppc classics? that's amiga and nothing more. peg/a1 is like having uae...

of course you must realize it is only a hobby machine, no real work can be done in these platforms nowdays, and that includes pegs/a1's... unless you install linux, but then it is not amiga
