I was just wondering Tone, when you stand next to that lovely classic little Beetle of yours, does your head disappear... :lol:


Speaking of the Beetle and disappearing, some days I go around looking so ridiculous the Beetle disappears behind me!

Now I haven't heard Eddie Izzard before, and I just don't see it.

I'm too old to be a budding musician, by now I'm just mediocre!

AmigaOS? pfft. Sorry.

On the other hand, I DO use Workbench 1.3.3 the most. :P
Well, on the A500. I actually prefer it.

On the V4000 (UAE pretending to be an A4000/040)....
I use 3.9. I'd use 3.1, but no disks :(

And which do I prefer? Honestly... Workbench 1.3. The color scheme is easier on the eyes, I like the icons, and unlike 2.x/3.x, the icons are always proportional. (But then again, afaik, you're stuck with one screenmode in Workbench, so go figure.) I've never seen much reason to upgrade. 3.9 is used for little more than preparing disk images to send over...

PS: My first thought when looking at Tone007's avatar: "Seth Green owns an Amiga???" Looks like I'm not the only one. xD

There are one or two of us who have had music careers :)

honestly I use AROS more than another other OS now... though 3.0 gets fired up from time to time to get stuff off my A1200's HD... and 1.3 is run a couple of times a year just to remind me of proper computing.

I'm using 3.5 with AmiKit on my Windows machine, and 1.3 on my trusty old A1000 (usually 1.3.3).
My A2000 with 3.1 is in storage at the moment, so that is not being used.
I actually like 3.9 the most, but I can't afford it....
Is that confusing enough for keeping within the "classic" OSes?

I too, play music although I am not in a band these days. Used to play Bluegrass and Rock (at different times, of course)

Wow..

Funny, I had that same Yamaha keyboard back in the day...
(Never learned to play anything on it; or any keyboard actually..)

Wasn't the demo song on that keyboard, "Last Christmas" by Wham?

I got it with the intention of hooking it up to my Amiga, as that keyboard had MIDI!
But, as I never got around to getting the MIDI interface for the Amiga, that didn't go as planned..  ;-)

I agree with Tension about the Derrin Brown, just when I came across the Eddie Izzard pic with that haircut, beard and tash Tone007 spang to mind...:)

(wonder what other celebs we can find to donate to Tone's new project... :lol:)

On a side note, just before I logged in I was looking around ebay and spotted an old iMacG5 going for £250, dunno why but I ended up bidding on it and got it for £325 + £25 delivery, then I noticed the seller only live 7 miles away from me, crazy thing is he won't let me pick it up and insists on posting it and I should get it by Thursday, Gawd I could be their and back in less than 20 minutes, crazy or what... :)

Argh.  That's a lot of money to spend on Motorola architecture, you could get a nice Intel Mac for less and do more.

Edit: read too fast, didn't realize you'd won it already.  Best of luck!

The G5 iMacs are still nice machines.

If that's really you in the pic, then you must have been in one of those 80's bands like The Human league, ABC, or Spandau Ballet, I'll wager... :)

(or perhaps the pics to throw us off the trail and your were in The Wurzels instead... :roflmao:)

The intel ones sell for well over £500 here on ebay and I've tried the one I've just bought before and it runs a hell of a lot faster than this G4 (you can actually watch youtube vids properly on it)... :)

My money's burning a hole in my pocket right now so I just had to buy something to keep me amused... :)

G5 does have enough horsepower for today's stuff.

I just have a hard time spending money on anything that isn't Intel these days, since MacOS went x86 and then there's all the x86 Linux and of course good old reliable Windows* to run.

*Hi, I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional (the enemy,) nice to meet you!
