Well I for one just sent my A3000 out with UPS to Canada today.

You b*stard!  What did the guy who bought your 3000 ever do to you? ;-)

No really, shipping something to Canada by UPS is the equivalent of holding him upside down by his ankles and shaking him till all his money falls out.  If items are shipped by Post the brokerage charge is $5 Canadian. UPS will probably charge that guy $80 to $100 even if the shipping was prepaid.  They are pirates, bandits, highwaymen of the worst order...
 (you can see I probably have an opinion here  :-D  )

It looks like an Amiga. If you stuck an Amiga logo on it and renamed it to AmigaOS instead of MorphOS you would fool everyone! Its that Amiga like.

Which is _why_ first Bill McEwan and now Garry Hare have infringement issues with Genesi over intellectual property that they owned.

Well from what I know of MOS back from the Phase5 days it was to be the replacement for AOS on the new PPC switch over. Then all went to hell and they left. Iam sure it was all coded internal. Just like AROS. So much is known about Amiga that I think a good team could make a compatable system. Look at WinUAE. It runs Amiga software better then most Amiga systems can do now.

Long wait? Here in Sweden there are Peg 2 in stock.

@JaX About NextGen hardware being 'affordable' to anyone but out and out Amiga fanatics, dou you know what an A4k, with tower and CSPPC, mediator etc would cost me, even om e-bay? A Peg 2 or A1 even an would be cheaper. Unless you'll settle for a patched up A1200 or another low-end spec.

But yes, as you wrote "I would suggest that they are not the majority of Amigans as a whole". I guess you're right. Amigans today is mostly retro-gamers  Let's hope there's enough real amigans left so that Eyetech doesn't abandon us due to lack of demand!

@Crown About A1200 with mediator, bppc, graphics card and so on is not cheap. It may be cheaper than a A4000 with CSPPC but  an A1 would still be cheaper than an A1200 with all the neccesary hardware.

Yeah, I guess so, but maybe you could pick up an A1200 at some local webforum a bit cheaper.

Hi crown

i dunno... the whole morph/peg stuff just leaves me kinda cold. to be honest with you i do well regret selling my A4000T (genuine Amiga Technologies).... stuffed with GFX cards, PPC stuff, ultra scsi drives, blah blah blah, for 800 quid... (the digital broadcaster32 and AD516 cost me 1200 UKP on their own). kinda sucked. but hey.

back in the running with an A1200 due for upgrade soon...

Sorry

Why do you say that? I got mine today after only a ten day wait. Once it got from Germany to the US it was overnighted to me. Very fast service, and great product. I was very impressed with its looks!!!

[Framiga]

Well, here we have G4´s and G3´s lined up and ready to deliver. But no rush to buy them.
