Some news gathered from several sources attending the show.
A complete Pegasos-based computer system that will be on sale next year will cost approximately 1000 euro (~$900). The motherboards will also be available separately.
Hyperion and Haage & Partner are developing AmigaOS 4 with several other developers. New features include:
- PPC native Picasso96
- New Warp3D with "Matrox-, Permedia3- and Radeon1/2-support"
- Generic PCI-drivers
- USB-support
- BlizzardPPC-support evaluated
- Integrated 68k-emulation
- PPC datatypes
- Price: approximately the same as OS3.9
- Initial release planned for February
Hyperion also told that they've been talking with both Elbox and BPlan and that they want to have versions of AmigaOS 4 for the SharkPPC and Pegasos.

| Amiga 2001 news update (updated) : Comment 53 of 69 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Dave on 19-Nov-2001 14:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 47 (Lennart Fridén):
OMG, Im agreeing with Smithy!
Sorry but the trailing smiley doesnt make it better or anyway less offensive.
Its bad enough when people confuse those that work for ( in a coalface role ) a big corporation and the political side of the corporation ( which is often controlled by a very small number of egotistical directors and VPs ).
Nothing can justify joking about the twin-towers disaster. I would not wish anything other than failure to sell their products on a company I did not like. I certainly would not advocate /joking or otherwise/ genocide ( or should that be corporocide ).
Given that I work, in a senior role, for a company who is not very popular with Amiga users ( judging by the outbursts of hate on this forum ) and some of whose employees have perished in the incident I found that remark very offensive.
To suggest that if it was a certain companies employees then the incident would make it more acceptable is a disgusting statement and should not be the basis of humour.
Maybe Im misreading the comment. Perhaps its national boundaries or cultural differences that mean that I find that post unamusing. *shrug* Maybe whoever posted it will think again before they post anything so insensitive in future.
