Nice to see they are making an effort to help Pegasos owners keep up with the
Joneses after that dissapointing announcement of Pegasos II being the only
starting point for G4 after all the Jam Tommorow promises of G4 and Dual G4s being
available "soon after launch".

A G4 based mainboard including two operating systems starting from 499EUR isn't

Pegasos, $299 USD + 200 Euro = 328.10 UKP


Well, it's still less than 500 UKP for a G4XE AmigaOne, but Amiga Inc. spent more than $3 million US, to buy the Amiga IP rights from Gateway 2000.

Factor that in, and they've still got a long way to go to break even.

All I can say is, AOS4.0 is made from the original source code.

AmigaOne! It's your call!

sorry, it's a bit off topic ;) but
it's not AmigaInc which makes the amigaone and determines its price !

Anyway, I really think it's much better to wait for the peg 2 (if available in/before september) instead of jumping on the G4 upgrade for peg1...

The Pegasos 1 does NOT cost 299$, that was just an offer to Developers and other people that could help pushing the market.

"that the promised G4 upgrade will be available on july 1st 2003"

I will remember that line and see if the products come out, Buck has released all the products he promised so hopefully he will continue to keep up his good record, the guy even exchanges t-shirts what came with a pegasos if they are the wrong size.

Buck is proving to be a great head of a company.

Maybe Amiga Inc would like to contact Buck and ask him how he managed to get t-shirts printed as Amiga Inc are truly pathetic creatures who claim to be Amigas future but have a problem getting t-shirts printed.

why wait all the way until july to get G4 when you can buy an AmigaOne G4 NOW
and actually be able to run AmigaOS 4 on it in the future......i dont see why the long time amiga users would want to leave the Amiga scene and go for an alternative platform and other operating system.....they might aswell just got a mac ages ago.

Nice & out of context.

It was that old 68k AmigaOS was dead.

The new was Amima-DE made into a full blown OS but that did not work out so now we have Aos4 in the works.

Now cut or old news crap.

Because some people don't want to run Linux. Some people like me for example, want either official OS4, or at least Amiga-like OS.
".. in the future" .. might take months. By the end of 2003 we should be more wiser. What concerns me is that not even one showdown of OS4 has been presented publicly. I take it as it's not in demoable stage, which means long way till it's released.

Wrong logic.

1) You dont know how long it will take to be in a demoable stage if you have not seen it already.

2) You dont know in what finished state the demo will be in.

3) You dont know if hyperion plan to evem do a demo at all & instead show the full finished product In wich case estimates from state of demo to finish=null.

And with the reaction of ppl to screen shots of Aos4 & the demo of the new exec i would not bother with any demos for ppl to slag of & start rumors & then haveing hyperion team waste yet more time going around the forms to put the rumors right instead of finshishing Aos4 as if they keept quiet to finish of Aos4 & not put the rumos down then ppl will say they must be true.

OS4 is only for Amiga computers....pegasos isn`t an Amiga.....if your happy with something slightly amiga like that cant run any future AmigaOS software then stick with it....personally im going to be an proud Amiga user for many years to come. If people want to leave the Amiga platform now after all this time for computers like the pegasos and an OS like morphos then thats there (strange) choice.

Hi corpse, that is not what we said...

We said we would not sell a version of the Pegasos I with the G4 card as a complete product. We have sold out another production of the Pegasos I G3s with April2 -- all 400. In July, we will offer a G4 upgrade for 200 Euros to these Pegasos I buyers. In September (perhaps before to the existing Pegasos I users), we will offer the Pegasos II with the G4 card. The existing G3 card will work on the Pegasos II (and we will continue to sell the G3 card with the Pegasos II as the "basic" system). Also, all Pegasos I users can exchange their Pegasos I with G3 card and 200 Euros for a new Pegasos II and G4 card. Whew...did I miss something? Try reading that a few times if you do not understand it...;-)

Finally, we intend on offering a software bundle to all Pegasos I owners that will be a VERY good package for a VERY small price. We want a solid group of happy users to be ready to welcome hundreds of new Pegasos II users to the Community. They will be joinus here, on amiga.org, ANN, amiga-news, morphos-news, the morphzone.org and phinixi.com starting in September and we want everyone to be ready for them...;-)

We will begin to discuss this on the Phoenix Reseller mailing list next week. We will get all this clarified in detail on this mailing list.

Best regards to all for a Happy Easter or a Happy whatever you celebrate,

No. You said

"Who said I will not get A1 _WHEN_ OS4 is ready? So I will be running NG Amiga software just as much as anyone else.

And about Hyperion not wanting to demo the OS.. let's quit being naive, shall we? The OS is not in demoable condition and there's not much to add to that. "

There is no "what concerns me" or anything else in your comment. You state as fact what you don't know and cannot backup. And when asked to stop this, you retort with "Now go ahead and finish the god damn OS."

*Opinions* start with "I think" or "In my opinion", not with "The OS is not in a demoable condition".

Ergo: You are spreading FUD. Or call it "rumours" if you want.

No he did not say just that.

As he added to when he thinks Aos4 will be finished & thats what he is being attacked on cos with out seeing A demo he has no way of knowing to when aos4 mite be ready, so he should shut up on telling ppl when Aos4 will be ready

Ah it's allways fun when certain people go back to rhetoris and start shouting
"FUD", instead of argueing/answering the original point.

So:
a) OS4 won't be seen until it is ready for release
b) We would like to show a demo, but OS4 ain't ready for it

Your comments (or was it Ben ?) regarding your non-attendance to the scandinavian
show a few weeks ago suggets something more along the lines of b).

But aslong as you only say that you say nothing we "mortals" have only guess-
work. Somehow I don't view a) as an good idea in what is a competive market,
and do think Hyperion is smart enough to see it the same way.

The fact that your asking for more info means that you dont have enough info to even make such a statement about Aos4 being ready in the first place.

You should know. You're an expert. Didn't you claim on Amiga.org that the whole of Hyperion was woring on Mac ports, only to later admit that you didn't know but was just "thinking to remember something"?

Don't bother to reply.

Don't spread anything. I am not going to comment on when the next Mercedes Benz will be on sale since I don't have any insight on the topic. So if I state "The new Mercedes Benz is not yet ready", I am spreading FUD.

Well you dont know hyperion very well at all.

Most of the ppl calling for the demo have already bought into a pegaosos/mos

The motives for seeing Aos4 could be so to just to slag it off or hope that it aint as good as MOS so that they can feel at easy with the choice of going for pegasos/MOS.

Some other are only intrested in Umulator & Aros & hope to put enough ppl off Aos4 thus hope that everyone will just leave there real amigas & aone to rott

thus bolster the need for the Umulator & Aros.

What is a demoable thing? It's something that can be demoed and is demoed. AFAIK we didn't see any demo of AmigaOS 4 yet. So for now AmigaOS 4 is not yet demoed and if it's in a demoed state that would be stupid from Hyperion to not do a demo as quickly as possible.

So as soon as there is no public demo of the AmigaOS 4 (that can be a simple Video), it's obvious that people will consider AmigaOS 4 as a not yet demoable system. A thing is becoming demoable in the opinion of the public when the public as soon as the public see a demo of it.

The public don't care at all that a thing is privately running and thoerically demoable. They just base their opinion on PUBLIC facts. There is not yet public facts to prove that it's demoable.

So Mr Frieden, if you care to prove what you claim, just prepare a public demo of AmigaOS 4 (a Video is probably the best and easiest way to do a first demo).

So as soon as you don't provide a public demo in any form, please stop attacking people who state that OS 4 is not in a demoable state. As soon as there is no public demo, it's by default considered as a not demoable thing, even if you don't like that (and it's the same for anything in this world).

In reply to Comment 42 (Anonymous):
I don't think so. That was not what I meant.

Showing a little demo, would just show ppl the product really exists & is advanced. Even if they didn't let ppl touch the product and see its flaws, they could just show us it's real & almost ready.

Not showing anything can only be worse : obviously, it will make more ppl make some products from the competitor (not to say join the competition which is stupid - speaking in camps), or make more people leave the amiga community.

I really can't see what is bad in showing some demos. So, if demos can't be done yet, it *may* mean the product is not advanced enough yet (initial point).

I can't really answer to that question as I don't have the information for that.

But I consider myself a product as being demoable as soon as there is a demo.
So AmigaOS 4 will be in a demoable state as soon as there will be a public demonstration of it.

Before, Hyperion representatives can claim what they want, if they don't provide any proof of any sort, it will be remain "vaporware announcement".
