Hi guys,
I'm new here, I've just registered. Some of you may know me from Amiga.org.
[damn! just got a Jehovah's Witness ringing my doorbell in the middle of typing this post, lol]

Now, I'm not sure if this is the right place to come and post, but this morning I decided that I want a Pegasos. (Is Morphzone just for discussing MorphOS? - I haven't really read many of the Peg forums, would there be somewhere better for me to have posted this....are there other Peg forums?)

Now, having either not really been interested in nextgen Amiga or sitting on the fence for about a year or so. I've finally come out on the side of the Peg - I was leaning that way for a while, but for some reason, this morning I just made up my mind. Would it surprise you if I said I was put off the A1 and OS4, not by the crippled hardware, or the interminable wait for the OS, but by the users?!

So, can someone tell me - is there anywhere in the UK or Europe stocking it at the moment - I understand production runs get snapped up pretty quickly, and can anyone give me some good sources of info? I am not the most technically minded person on the planet - well not compared to computer geeks anyway, but am not stupid either

All the best

Hi Cyberbus, welcome on MorphZone ! AFAIK GGS Data still have some Pegasos in stock.

BTW :) GGS data website is

Hello cyberus, welcome to morphzone and the (blue camp). You could always try Versalia of germany. I`ve had good luck with them.

Hello cyberus,

welcome in our community. If you need a (very much) detailed description of the first impact of a user with a PegasosII and MorphOS, and of the overall compatibility of legacy applications with this environment, you could go into the Tutorial section of this web site (https://morph.zone/modules/sections/), where you can click on the "Dr.Office" subsection to get access to my review "From Genesi(s) To Revelation".

Welcome You've found the heart of the MorphOS-Community
There are some local sites, but MorphZone & MorphOS-News are
the two main sites for staying in contact & informed

This weekend was a german amiga meeting and Axel Knabe,
a german pegasos reseller had boards in stock:
http://www.knabe-bueroservice.de/

And after an amiga-weekend with about 50% Pegasos
computers, I guess you've chosen the right side

Hello cyberus,

I too have decided to buy a Pegasos. Sitting on the fence got real boring. Need a new wolfe sitter .

@ cyberus

Welcome to Morphzone! This is the right place to post about the Pegasos and MorphOS. There is also http://www.ppczone.org for discussions about Linux on PPC in general, and on the Pegasos in particular.

I think you will find the Pegasos to be a very interesting computer! May I ask you what you are going for - a G3 or a G4?

On behalf of MorphZone staff, welcome. Enjoy your stay

nothing much left to say, so I can only follow the others and say: welcome!

tokai, you dirty copycat

welcome welcome...
btw when are you starting porting ?
...we need man-power

have fun

@hooligan:

no, no.. your're a copycat... look.. your avatar looks almost identical to TMHGs avatar

Good try Tokai. But I joined a day before him.

Which sort of puts me back to lead ;)

hooligan, look that prooves nothing, because the avatar can be changed every time.

And I have more posts than you, that prooves that I'm more wise and have right. Beat that!

@Tokai

What it proves is that you have WAY TOO MUCH time at your hands. Even the amount of sw you released proves that!


HIT, SINK, KILL.

@Hooligan:

look, you're wrong _again_. I'm a very busy person and I don't have much time. I even need a personal mz-upload and news-spreading assistant (Hi Stevo ;) ) because I don't have enough time for doing this stuff.

But I guess you're going to copycat me again and you will have tomorrow an assistant too. He'll leech the p0rn for you (and thats something I can't - and don't want to - beat)!


regards,
tokai



after thinking about it, Hooligan won fair and square.

Don't play dirty tricks, hooligan! :)

Well, have you even seen "the butterfly effect"? Hint: it's about going back in time to change some variables that affects the future. I choose this avatar to make it clear to any ignorant copycats that I went several years back in time and influenced the decision of MorphOS symbol to exactly the blue butterfly you have *copied* into your avatar. The blue butterfly is *mine*, I was *first*!

Hello cyberus! Glad to hear you've decided to get off the fence!

@cyberus

Hello!...
You have decided to buy a pegasos... good choice and welcome in the
world of MorphOS...

@cyberus

A good address for buy one PegasosII G3 or G4 --> www.FLComputer.net
in Luxembourg... They still have some pegasos ... :)

@ cyberus

Welcome to the community! I also made the choice to get a Pegasos instead of an AmigaOne - smart move I think. hehehe

Do you have it already?

I did it! Just sent off my payment for my Pegasos board.

Congratulations!

Thanks for all the replies and welcomes.
I would probably be looking at a g4 pegasos - but at the moment I am looking for work, so I have to be careful with money.
It may be a few months before I actually buy the system. I might try and sell some stuff as well, before I bring any more computers into the house!
I look forward to chatting here on the forums, and getting hold of a Peg in the near future
