hello?

      (  ... hello?   ....    ello   .....    o   .... )

yes, well.. er, this is by way of a test really, just thought I'd find an out
of the way group to post it. I see a bit of chat this month, are many people
still using Amiga these days?  Mine is long gone now, using an old laptop
(NetBSD) these days, takes up less room.. and probably faster than my 2000/020
was too, I saw something about Amiga Inc a while ago, is the technology dead
and gone, or is there still a revival in the works? Any old school chums
hanging on?

The AmigaOne (by Eyetech) is currently on sale I gather - its a PPC PCI
based thing, it should have Amiga OS4.0 in a month or two.

I gather the Pegasus (broadly similar thing) is being released at Aachen
next month.




                  All the best,

Well, I keep saying my Amiga is my first computer, but right now it
needs a re-install because it's current setup used to be on an A600
with 2meg and OS2.05 in 1992, now it's 2003 and it's in a 4000/060 and
hasn't been used for two years... so right now it just boots into the
Paloma (TV card for Picasso IV) so I can watch telly. Ahem.

...and this is on a Win2000 laptop. You're right, it does take less
space. *sigh* Will be moving back to my Amiga soon I hope. That's only
because I've been out of the country for two years...

I've got software installed on this Amithlon box that started off on my
KS 1.2 A500 (probably before you were born Stu :) and migrated through
my A2000 and A4000 to this machine.

You've gone full circle, from using a telly to use your Amiga to using
your Amiga to watch telly :)

Now I understand why this group's been so quiet ;-)
