Default I'm coming back
I have decided to return to the Amiga, purely for fun and a hobby. Got to sort out an OS4 machine for myself soon, can't wait!

Of course, Amiga is just too much fun to leave. Don't know if OS4 has quite the same appeal as the classics.

Cue various next gen advocates from each camp...

This is control, you are cleared for incendiary run on target...

Of course, everyone knows that AROS is the future of Amiga. MorphOS is silly and AOS4 is old and smells of cheese.

To be honest, I like what I am seeing in 4.1 Classic but this would require a Mediator board with Radeon 9200 256MB.

On top of an A1200 with Blizzard PPC or Amiga 4000 with Cyberstorm PPC.
I'm lucky to have the last one in a Micronik tower.
But to spent another 420 euro on a Mediator board and a 120 for OS 4.1 ?
I really have to think hard on that one.

AROS for BPPC would be nice.

“Socialism" is no more an evil word than "Christianity." Socialism no more prescribed Joseph Stalin and his secret police and shuttered churches than Christianity prescribed the Spanish Inquisition. Christianity and socialism alike, in fact, prescribe a society dedicated to the proposition that all men, women, and children are created equal and shall not starve.” - Kurt Vonnegut

Absolutely, after all, who would want an OS that actually works?

Yea! Welcome back. Purely an anecdotal observation, but I used to read threads about people leaving. Now I'm enjoying the ones in which people come back. Perhaps we're growing again, just a little.

Prometheus works probably better under OS 4 - certainly it's what I use and I think the OS4 dev team do too. Finding one may be tricky though... but a lot cheaper than 400-odd.
