Another golden age?
« on: March 01, 2012, 10:51:08 PM »
X1000, AOne500, New accelerator cards, Adapters and Interfaces, Flickerfixers, Natami,  and now we're going to have a PPC netbooks for AmigaOS. More and more HW is introduced for new, old or compatible Amiga systems.

These people have absolutely no respect for other people's wallets.

And I've just ordered a MAS Player for my A1200. AmigaKit takes blame for that!

Why mix x1000, aone500 or this kind of notebooks with real amigas?

Oh for gods sake. Why must someone always go straight for the "let's start a red camp/blue camp argument again" complete rehash of every other red/blue thread we've seen before.

It's always better if we remember what we have in common and enjoy our Amiga experience together, whatever that may mean to us.

And yes ByteRider, we have OS4 PPC, MOS, AROS and lot's more. Plenty of great choice for all to enjoy in this hobby whatever your preferences. Hope your wallet can take the strain, I know mine can't. :D

Because they're trying in earnest to push the Amiga forward, as is Natami.  Even if you don't agree with all the details, at least they're doing something, rather than just sitting on their asses like most owners of the Amiga IP.  I am personally most excited by the Natami, but I give a lot of credit to the OS4 stuff too -- an incredible amount of work has gone into it.

It's because these people believe they can categorize because of chip set and because of timeframe. Frankly I think the b*stards really just want to control themselves.

What makes me laugh is I doubt most of them are Amiga purists like me that has never owned anything but an Amiga. And also, I doubt they own 10 Amigas let alone the 100 or so systems I own.

AmigaOS4.x and its custom hardware is the genuine continuation of the Amiga Computer, the freaking thing was always going to evolve. The ECS and AGA and the Blitter and whatever else you want to chuck in was ALWAYS going to be replaced. Just because this didn't happen until decades later doesn't make YOU right in thinking that is where the Amiga died, it just serves the purposes for some of these characters that gave up on the girl.

Some of us just kept on using an Amiga simply because it was our choice to do so and I never regretted it once. And look? The old girl started up again. But now we have all this OTHER sh*t polluting our once positive energetic hangouts.

But, if you're like me and you're in the know, gradually all this sh*t is being left behind. Like I always said it would.

So lets see, I have 2 X1000s and 3 SAMS and I'm going to get more, it's just like 1986 and the world is none the wiser :hammer:

Can we give the camp stuff a rest?  All the camps are making progress, Natami, MOS, AROS, OS4.  WE all have seen movement from a year ago.  Let's just be happy and not $### in each others camp.

If I had to complain about anything like everyone else does it would have to be about actually acknowledging "camps"? at all.

I am completely indifferent to these other endevours and that's the only true way it should be, all this utter rubbish about working together and what have you is completely misplaced, god knows where it all started but I could almost guarantee its fueled by the masses of people out there that are just "computer" users NOT project orientated individuals, just people who want options and don't care where it is satisfied. I believe people who are doing what they want care very little about the general mass jibberish. Or Internet Noise as some people like to call it.

Maybe we should be colour coding on posts so that people know what camps we are in. We'll have to add some colours though.

Red         OS4
Blue        MOS
Mauve     AROS

i think posts of a particular indiviual here should be really set in stone for future generations. truly an exceptionary example of self righteous monumental ignorance and naivety combined with a tendence to repeatedly show off while nobody actually cares about.

I need to pay better attention to the radar.  Just when you think the stock is finally depleted, the Mas Player keeps getting resurrected (as it should!).  

Give us a review of the EVO when you get it.  Does the mixer work well?  Same processor as original?

I was surprised by the increased spec of the recommended Amiga.  I know I have played higher bitrates than 128kbps thru my older versions (admittedly with 68030 and 060 CPUs).  I know of ppl happily using them with unaccellerated A600s.  I may have to do some testing.

 Amiga is still alive!

My first Amiga was the Amiga 1200, I bought it when Commodore still exist. It really was ****.

For the price of my Amiga 1200 I could buy a 386 which did circles around my A1200 and my cousin's A4000 put together.

Because, unfortunately, pathetic idiots from Commodore forgot to add chunky pixels modes to AGA.

What made any application that drew something 10 times slower on Amiga than pc with the same clock.

Today Amiga are maybe 2 times slower on one core than the latest pc.

And we can use without problems PC graphic cards in ours Amigas.

It's much better than the days of the commodore.

This sick perverted cult of classic Amiga, is incomprehensible.
