AmigaOS4 for Classic - 30th November

[Stephen Coates]

Update:

AmigaKit say they expect OS4 will cost £59.99.

Or you can preorder one from someone on ebay for £64.99 - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMIGA-OS4-For-...QQcmdZViewItem

(I don't recomend the second option)

OS4.0 will be released for he A1200 and a Blizzard PPC.
Says that quite clearly on the Hyperion site.
One of the programmers posts on another site and is confident this will happen as planned on the 30/11/2007.
Have arranged to buy a PPC off someone on Ebay, but I haven't heard from him for a few days.
Needless to say I've done everything I need to do, so just waiting on him.
Hope I haven't been scammed but I wouldn't be the 1st on ebay.

At least buyers are now better protected on ebay than before. If you do get scammed, and never see the item, then they will normally get you the money back.

I think I have been, to be honest.
I sent an email Wednesday but he hasn't responded.
Have sent several more at the weekend.

The worst thing is, I sent him my 060 as part payment in trade.
I know that was signed for at his end on Friday.
Would be more annoyed to lose that than the money as it would be difficult replacing that.

Having said that, I would still like to get my hands on a PPC, which would render the 060 obsolete.

[Harrison]

Well, if he only received the 060 on Friday then it's only Monday now. He might have been waiting for the 060 to arrive before he then posted the card to you, which he probably would do this week.

[TiredOfLife]

Well he has finally emailed me back.
He says he was a bit concerned because I said he should have the board now and it hadn't arrived or a card left by the postie.

I did give him the tracking number though so all he had to do was phone up Royal Mail.
He says a neigbour had it and only delivered it last night.

He also said he would post the PPC tomorrow morning and email me a tracking number.
Hoepfully he is on the level.

Have seen a better specced one on Ebay today.
Was tempted to bid for that, but I can see the prices being even higher now OS4.0 is on the horizon for classics.

Got a tracking number today, so looking better.
