Why on earth would anyone even want to play a Bluray on an A1200?

Thanks for calling me a geek. But someone still using in 2010 a 300Mhz-accelerated original 14/25Mhz Amiga from 1993 is more likely to be a geek than I am...

Sorry to disappoint you but the C64 isn't older than me, although lots of machines were built before I was born...

I like to see people doing things you couldn't expect to see with old machines too, including nice C64 demos, new OS for c64/amstrad cpc,... Yet, I fail to see the interest of the rather hungry OS4 with a Amiga+PowerPC today when compared with OS3.x + wup/pup.

Way to slow to do anything at 200mhz or less, unless you just want to load it and look at it...


Oh, so just like OS3.x on 68K then? I mean come on, you are talking sub 100MHz here, how does it even boot? :rolleyes:

Or, you know, you could be adult about it and either hit the report button, or add him to your ignore list.

Good point. Report made.

This is a site about Amigas, not a Nazi or Islama-fascist site.

So, object to the phrase "Zionist" and then go on to use "Islama-facist" ?

How ironic.


Anyway, back on topic, please.

Nope, a geek would desire to run it on shiny new fast hardware, a nerd on an ancient piles of shit (relatively) and optimise the hell out of it.

That's the point you keep missing.  

People do that because they can.  Whether you have the same interest or not is completely irrelevant.

I used to think like that, but the reality is that PPC native apps running on a PPC native OS without cache flushing context switches and relying on a CPU that in my case had 1/10th the clockspeed to handle IO etc, tends to be a bit quicker. I mean, who would have thought it?

@nicholas & Iggy

If you wish to discuss the political ideology of Zionism, take it to the coffee house/politics section. This is not the place.

Seconded. This thread is close to getting locked. Get back on topic and take political ideology to private conversation.

It would seem they are taking their lead from certain companies in our little community!

Wow, I'm still on their donors list, from back before they had a goal.

Doesn't look like they'll ever hit 20k!

"Islama-fascist"?

How adult and non-discriminatory of you Mr hypocrite.


If you define "hypocrite" as someone who is offended by your anti-Semitic remarks and suggests you take them to another site where they might be better received, then yes, I'm a hypocrite.

Maybe they should hit up Commodore USA for money and become the latest new-AmigaOS? ;)
