I didnt. :) The tread was about UAE on a pentium.

Nope. A Pentium runing UAE with a Amiga. :)

Todays "dead" Amigas, sure. But by then the Power Amiga's should be out.

>(UAE on a Pentium Pro / 250Mhz, wich makes use of GUS and GFX-card extensions
>must be enough to emulate a A1200) It's time you amiga dudes realize that.
A *STOCK* A1200 *MABY*, but sure as hell not *AN* *REAL* Amiga.

>This is not a flame or something, it's not even a pc-commercial. I've had a

>Fact is: -PC operating systems suck.
Agreed. Only usefull OS must be Linux i think.

>         -Amiga hardware sucks and amiga OS lacks things (But works great).
Agreed.

OK. I choose a BeBox. :)

Whops. That random tag now? That must mean something. :)
