Hullo all
Long time no see to most of you!
I may not have been on the MOS scene (apart from the occasional flit into IRC recently) much for the past year, but I still have my machine. I still love it. And I know the developers of MOS and other programs like Poseidon (Chris Hodges) and MUI and Showgirls work very hard for those software updates they provide!
I have to say that I truly doubted that MOS 2.0 would ever surface. I'm very very glad to see that I was proved wrong. I havn't been using my Peg 2 because it's sitting over there ----> out of reach of my PC that I use all the time. That will change - it's getting moved next to the PC and a supported shelf is being errected for the (damned heavy) monitor.
I shall be buying MOS 2.0 even though ?88 (111 Eur) is a fecking lot of money for me atm. It might not be a huge amount of money but when you don't have much it is quite a bit! And yet I'll manage. I havn't even installed MOS2.0 yet! It's downloaded, it's burnt to CD, it's sitting on my desk 12 inches away - but I know I'm buying it.
Those of you complaining think about why your complaining. You've kept your Pegasos and MorphOS because you Love it, not through need. Lets face it the Amiga scene has always been a struggle, for every one piece of software that comes out on the Amiga five alternative ones appear on Windows and some of them actually do things better, or if not better then quicker, with more updates and possibly better support. There's more options and of course every new thing is written for it! Miggy uses plod on regardless.
Why do you still have/use your Pegasos machines if you don't intend to support its developers?
I say a hearty thanks to all those involved in this MAJOR update - and that's exactly what it is. This isn't some minor tweak or bugfix, this is the culmination of two or three (I honestly forget how long its been since 1.* came out) years of hard work where their families and friends have had to put up with them spending long hours at the keyboard. I think that deserves a bit of a pat on the back and some money - and lets not forget that 111/150 Eur is being SPLIT between a number of people. I've no idea how many, but if it's 3 then they each get 37 Eur (?30) - that's barely enough to buy them and their missus a dinner in a restaurant one evening!! Perspective is what's called for here.
That's my rant overwith. I hope to be speaking to more of you again soon and reconnecting old friendships soon. Once my Peg2 is upgraded to MOS2!
