Genesi: Pegasos III with PPC 970 announced

[Panthro]

I was on a spanish singles chat forum and although
I dont speak spanish when I herd some guy from
amiga inc. say Amiga 4 I think it's obvious that
this product will be out soon......  :-o

even though the Amiga2 and Amiga3 are not
out yet I give full credit because of an official
let slip........  ;-)

Well lets just see what happens :-)

Amiga can now compete with BBRV in the
number of vapour hardware products again....

.......I'm sooooooo releaved :python:

[bbrv]

Hi Pantro, check it out:

Happy SuperBundle Sunday!

Be good now!

Why not just port MorphOS to the G5 and be done with it?

Unless you're going to suggest the PIII will cost a lot less.

[bbrv]

The money is in the hardware strobe.  By the G5, we assume you mean the Mac?  The PIII will be alot less than that machine and the G3 version will be cheaper than the eMac.  Remember, the idea is either a low cost alternate OS platform (with MorphOS as an added bonus :-D)  or an ultimate inexpensive (relatively speaking) SuperGeekTweak machine.

Is that more clear?  :-D

R&B  :-)

A lot less in *price* I hope, not necessarily in performance and features? ;-)

Tomorrow Genesi will announce the G6 Pegasos 43

...........


In all cases happy to see good intention to produce new hardware.

Breaking news:

Amiga Inc announces Fleecy gets his hair cut.

Let's breakout the champagne! ;-)

[amigamad]

oh gosh, you won't buy a computer for the next decade...sorry about that.

Dont be stupid 3 new boards in so little time even my pc only needs a new board every 2 years ore more .

[realstar]

Well, I think the idea is that you choose
the board that suits your personal requirements.
You don't have to buy all 3.  For instance many
are staying with their original PegasosI+G3 since
it performs well for them.  That's why you see
several models being offered in every computer
market at all times. Choice is good, forced upgrades
are not. The Pegasos performs well from the base
model up, so all is good.  

[amigamad]

But when you anounce a new version most people would rather wait for the new version instead of buying what is already out.

[Senex]

Depends on how much longer you want to wait and how much money you want to spend. Especially if already the Pegasos I fits your needs.

[bbrv]

One happy day coming to a close here in Paris...:-)

Just posted THIS over on MorphOS-News.  We will try to answer some of the questions above too...

TMHG, well yes, that is what we meant!  :-D  We should have a fairly "cool" machine running then with MorphOS and all the other OS possibilities from AROS to Zeta!

ikir, G6 Pegasos 43?!  Sounds like a American football audible...;-)

realstar is right amigamad.  Different horses for different courses.  The focus is on the G3 and 970, not the G4.   You need to understand that the information we posted yesterday was carefully considered and done intentionally.  We have taken a thoughtful position.  We hope it is understood and appreciated.  Frankly, the Pegasos I with April 2 is a good machine.  We are proud of it.  Look at what has been accomplished with a few hundred motivated users!   In six months we might even be ready for a broad market introduction and be taken seriously by the IT market -- at least the geeks!  :-)  BTW, thanks again for changing that avatar...;-)

Senex, thanks for your support.  We really appreciate it.  We saw the translation on Amiga-News.  Great!  BTW, how was our German?  8-)

AmiWest should be a memorable experience.  

Happy SuperBundle Sunday!

Raquel and Bill

[amigamad]

True but as in the pc world its a my machine is more powerful than yours thing knowing there is a 3 will mean i will definatly wait for this before buying one . :-)

[bbrv]

No problem!

:-)

Just remember we are trying to eliminate CPU speed from the marketing discussion/buying decision.  The issue is what WORK (activity exerted through power or faculty applied to perform a task) can be accomplished in the time allotted -- not how fast we ran to accomplish the work!

WATTS HAPPENING!  PegPower!

Get it?!  :-)  

Power provides a measure of both the amount of work that is done (or, equivalently, the amount of energy expended), and the time it  takes to do it.

power (in watts) = work (in joules) / time (in seconds)

That is where WATTS HAPPENING comes from in terms of the Pegasos!  :-D  We need to get people thinking this way -- power and faculty -- is more than just CPU speed.

R&B  :-)

Dont be stupid

@Amigamad

OK, I'll try very hard not to be stupid.

You act like there is a problem when someone gives you information about future products.  *please please please, lie to me or at a minimum keep things hidden from me*

Whatever.

Listen, if BBRV told someone about a Peg III, and I have no reason to believe that a Peg III isn't something factual...so what?  You say people will wait...well lets examine that.....

WELL GREAT.  THAT'S GOOD.  Maybe it's not what BBRV intended, but if people want to wait for the latest hardware.  If they would prefer to buy a Peg III, if they wait, and they do buy a Peg III, just what is so bad about that?

That is their choice.  If someone buys a Peg 2, and it just happens to be the day before the Peg 3 is released, they might be glad if they were told about a new product....they might be glad they could choose whether to wait, or not....it doesn't force them to wait, it just gives them more information to make the best choice.

But in the end...I think you buy what you need at the time you need it.  Computers lines are always rev'd...thats life in the computer business.

I take your comments as if they are genuine, because its the most interesting thing to assume....you really were concerned that someone informed you of information?

It's such a familiar theme around here...please, don't tell me....please not the truth....please I can't handle it! LOL, sorry amigamad, but I don't know why amiga fans seem to have low self esteem, almost across the board....

[amigamad]

True if you are happy with something or have already bought a pegasos 1 or 2 you wont go and upgrade as soon as a new version comes out .with me its if its fast enough then why upgrade while it does what you want the pc im using at the moment is limited to 266 bus athlon xp 2600but the only thing i will change will be the old geoforce ti4200 and get a dvd writer.When i buy a pegasos it will be built into a small atx case to save space something wich is cool with mini sized motherboards. :-)
