R&B

P.S. Hi Dave-Buddy!  At home or on a coffee break...;-)

[DaveP]

At home now :-)

Just catching up. See you are making publicity hay while the sun shines with the trademark thing ;-)


Got a deadline on Friday so Ill try to limit my coffee breaks to just two a day ;-)

[bbrv]

OK DaveP!

We will be pretty busy tomorrow too, but you name the time and the place for another lively game of PegPong and we will be there!!!  

You'll see, we will get you AmiPegorNot guys converted one at a time....:-D  PegPower!  

Hey SADHead, Cool Computing!  Get it!? :-P

Adios Amig(o)s!

Enough for one day!!!

Say good night Dave!

R&B  :-)

Hey SADHead, Cool Computing! Get it!?

Very professional

[PMC]

For years we had nothing and had to soldier on with creaky hardware, now we have competition for our dough. :-)

If this is what is known by "healthy competition" then bring it on!

[odin]

Not all the smileys in the world can save you bb :-/.

[Hammer]

At the current exchange rate of £0.61 to the US$, it's £214.31 including the VAT!

Bye bye AmigaOne.  

Anyone who buys an A1 after these babies come out is an absolute fool, and has more money than sense.

IF Eyetech doesn’t respond to the competition e.g. lowering the price for their product then the said company may get a bloody nose.

Any future targeted price VS current price comparison can be flawed since we don’t know how Eyetech will respond to the renewed competition(later in the year).

As for MAI, I do hope they effectively compete with Marvel… The PPC chipsets market needs a X86 style chipset wars e.g. VIA vs nVidia battle royal (for the AMD Athlon market).

[Hammer]

wow thats an incredible price... I was thinking at a minimum Peg2 would cost say 600 or so... pretty good job!!! 299 willl definitly lure some amigans back...

One may have keep in mind that the said product may have to compete with HW products from outside the Amiga world e.g. incoming AMD’s Athlon 64/Athlon XP 3400+ (with 400Mhz DDR FSB chipsets) and Intel’s Pentium 4 @3200Ghz (with 800Mhz QDR FSB chipsets)**.
 
Define ‘Amigans’. Note that official AmigaForever 5.3 and Amithlon are available for X86 platforms.

**Just keeping things into perspective.  Incoming products will push the current top end product's prices lower.

Hey, It'll run AROS, that good enough

Good enough???
It´s the best Amiga OS (other than 3.1 that is)!!!
Now I´m happy a real Amiga compatible computer with good value for my money. It can run all existing operatingsystem i want to run, AROS, MorphOS, Linux, MacOS X. Just what i need to be free of using this noisy PC.

[Targhan]

I like the idea of moving towards a more realistic price point.

[redrumloa]

Everybody; Hyperion, Genesi, Eyetech, Etc., keep on saying they have products coming soon, they´ll have to, cause fewer people will buy the products of the others...

Whoa whoa whoa, take Gensi off that list! I am typing this on Gensi's product right now! It's very real!! :-o

[DethKnight]

stupid curiousity has me wondering if these will have
"Gobi" or better yet "Mojave" g3 chips

[Dr_Righteous]

Now if they came with a pair of 128M memory modules, I'd be impressed... Just as a convinience.  :-D

[DaveP]

@Redrumloa

Didn`t know Genesi did keyboards.

PS, a clue, we are talking about Genesi's Pegasos II which hasn't been releasing and with all of these things pre-announcing the price point and specifications is called in marketing terms "spoiling".

Mind you if you nip over to MorphZone you can read Joanna being insulting about the average Amigans attention span. Maybe shes right.

[JoannaK]

DaveP: well.. Spoiling has been going on a long time here.. Promices, 'soon', 99% ready  etc.. It's been goin on years now.

I can't tell when  Pegasos II appears cause I really don't know. But my best bet (noted here publicly) it'll be delivered to first customers sooner than workin OS4 for Aone owners ..

[DaveP]

@Joanna

Agreed. Its spoiling, but Im not complaining I'm explaining for the chap at the back.

As for release dates, I won't take you up on that bet because frankly I don't know which way things could go ;-)
