DreamCast!!! ;-) I am now converting many of my (cough) DivX movies to DCDivX...... oops that isn't righ ;o) I also picked up the DreamMovie thing to watch VCD's with it (my CD32's powersupply went belly up, now it's been put up).. Darnit, I paid good money for the DC, and it's not dead until * I * say it's dead! > I already mentioned Photogenics. What else really doesn't the PC have > that the Amiga did that people would be so sorely missing? I can't > think of anything at all... I would say something to the effect that some of us don't want to pay for a whole slew of new apps for the PC, but most of us don't bother to *pay* for pc apps in the first place. (They are either bundled in a package, or we know someone with the CD...) With that said, I am against piracy on the Amiga. However, I never made such claims for the PC side. In fact, since the whole concept of the PC is based on a pirated (in some cases several levels of piracy) chip and a pirated OS--they deserve to have more piracy than any other platform! Athlon -> pirated X86 -> pirated Zylog Z80 WinXP -> WinNT -> WinXX -> MS DOS -> PC DOS -> QDOS -> pirated CP/M BIOS -> reverse engineered by Compaq to pirate IBM Oh yes, I remember.... > > > I wouldn't buy an AmigaONE because I *know* what it is, and I *know* > > > it's a 3rd-rate product I would buy a Pegasos if I could get one at > > > a substantial discount, I just hope that Elbox lives up to their promises...

I was one of the first people in line to purchace one back in '99 or '00.. I still have the reciept in fact! At the time, Active was still in buisiness..

Whoa. Stop. Please, you are going to the Pegasos/AmigaONE thing, and I think the question was MorphOS vs. AmigaOS-4. ;o) I can't speak for everyone, but there are quite a few of us who will be going the prometheous/mediator upgrade path. (We get PCI *NOW*, and whenever the ppc gets done--we are supposed to save a buck or two) Assuming that Elbox actually produces their Shark (With a mediator already installed, it currently seems that would be the path I will take... depending on the cost--it is a hobby, sorry Don..) the 'official' path is AmigaOS4, but I know I would love the oppertunity to play with MorphOS too (I'm not afraid of a dual boot system!). So what do you think? If the Shark becomes available, do you think that MorphOS will have a package for it? > I don't earn any money from helping to code Voyager, but it certainly > is fun to work from the other side of the internet, instead of fighting > with code to display in a browser the way I want, I fight with the > browser to display code someone else wrote..

With this experience you should be able to snare up a job with a big web-development company, and slam them with the big paycheck as a consultant (You know *too much* to actually code! That's right, with the understanding of *how* the browsers work--you should be telling the wimpy little web-coders how to do things, and send the crappy js-coders home!) -- -- Regards, Dave "Targhan" C.
