Star Sky Is Falling: AmigaOS 4.1 Released for Pegasos II
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 1st Feb 2009 00:52 UTC
Amiga & AROS Boys and girls, it's time to dust off your Pegasos II machine, or maybe to reduce the size of your MorphOS partition, because there's a new contender coming your way: ACube Systems Srl has announced the immediate availability of AmigaOS 4.1 for the Pegasos II. It's 01:40 here, so I can't check if the sky is falling, but I'm pretty sure it is.

Yes I understand this but here is my and I'm sure many others situation.

I fancy having a look. And then I may like it and start buying software from shareware/commercial vendors (this solidifies the platform.

However, 600 euros (£600 now) can buy me a core2duo laptop with which to stick on linux/win/etc etc etc. AND i'd still have about £150 change.

I also fancy a wee mac, however, the latest OSX is not going to be on PPC anymore. But I'd gamble on a second hand macmini from ebay etc for £200/euro and have a look at OSX and Amiga.

I won't look at amiga on a system that costs at least 2-3x my budget.

This is why RISCOS died... specialist hardware THAT WAS not really that usefull elsewhere for the os that you only want to try.

All the best
Bob

And you will miss a plain OS which OBEYS TOTALLY your commands without bothering you with unuseful, strange and HIDDEN services as it does Windows and also AmigaOS does not require any degree in computer science as Linux requires...

600 Euros for being free?

It is a bargain...

And if you are a computer hobbyist, then buying Sam hardware + AmigaOS, sure it is an opportunity to have decent modern hardware with its OS...

Amiga it is a cheaper Hobby than collecting vintage cars or motorcycles, or any other expensive hobby...
