Thanks all for the nice words! tj

Love the idea of Haiku being a past BeOS user. Even owned 2 or 3 BeBox in the day.

I have tried Haiku but on my current i7 based 2014 system, it boots but lack of sound and could not seem to get opensound, or whatever to work, and sound has always been an issue with any computer I tried Haiku on.

If there comes a day that Haiku can easily install, without a special boot menu like grub and just boot up straight on a modern Ryzen based system, I would not mind using Haiku daily.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable in how to get Haiku working on all cylinders has fun with it but for me, I just want it to be as easy to install and boot on a modern computer w/o having to decommission this file and grab another to make sound work and all that jazz.

But yeh, BeOS and Haiku is rather neat.

I Changed My Mind About Amiga.

Amiga OS... Amiga One X5000... The Whole Amiga Platform.

Shipping is just not on the list for now. All glass case... and carriers allowed (read their fine print) to be able to drop a box from over 2' high and goods inside supposed to handle it. Been there, done that.

Just not willing to chance a package that arrives dropped and damaged, unless buyer wants to take full responsibility and costs for that. I know I am not.

As of this AM the X5K is still for sale to any local interested. Just send me a PM. TJ

@ktadd
OK, thank you. Replied.

Decided it is time for me to sell my last remaining Amiga-based product and therefore I am putting my AmigaOne X5000 up for sale.

Checked with various dealer's websites and no one seems to be selling them anymore so figure someone may want to buy a good used one.

Here is a video I made in 2019 and most of what I have remains the same with small changes that can be shown in a new video for the buyer or can be seen at pickup time.

Sorry folks, local pick up only so the nearer you are to Northern California, the better. Not interested in shipping as shippers are way to harsh on big expensive computers these days. I know that will limit the buyers, if there are any, but such is life. And no, will not sell board only unless you want to pay the same full price as I will not sell at discount. Prefer to sell as a complete working system.

If you are interested, send me a PM and we can go from there. The video will tell you a bit but I can cover more via a good old fashion phone call too.

$2250 mostly as you see in the video. Even have the original Thermaltake box still so you will get that. Mouse and keyboard and all that you use your own. This will be for the computer itself with a power cord and software that came with my X5K as purchased from Amiga on the Lake.

Video that shows the AmigaOne X5K that I am selling.

Thanks everyone for your answers! tj

@khayoz

Thanks!

Trying to find a purpose for my X5K... lol... and said, hey, I am working on a game for my Speccy... would be cool to use a Paint app on my X5K to create a .BMP and use it for my games boot screen.

Speccy needs 256x192 as the image size. I own Personal Paint that came with my X5K in 2016. Seems the smallest it allows me to get is 320x200. No luck.

Any options to create a nice image on my X5K at this point. Somehow get Personal Paint to allow this small size OR Sketchblock... is that something that can?

Thanks

@kas1e

I digg your desktop picture. Where did you get it?



TJ

Appears all is well. The world is good again!

Maybe back up now.. although I am the only one in my group. lol. I am used to talking to myself. hehe

TJ

I normally connect with irc.amigaworld.net or irc.amigans.net but neither work.. and www.amigaworld.net appears down so guessing no one here has irc access to their normal channels here?

TJ

Small update, appears my TuneNet may have some issues. Verson 2.9 is the version. I have to check to see if that has newer versions. I am an enhancer owner. It launches and plays music fine but no longer can bring up radio stations. Get an error when I scan for stations.

TJ

EDIT... I used Updater and see a 2.10... I download it from Updater and at end locks up X5K.. hard freeze. weird.

X5K owner here... and yes have an Enhancer based X5K.

Update went overall good, so far.

As expected my clock came up huge... so if I want enhancer clock again I need to fix that.

Wookie Chat for me died... I may try to make a new copy and try it again but out of the shoot it gives me a GR.

Other than that, sound, internet, basic browsing, music, video playback... the basics I use are all OK so far.

Nicely done and happy to be up to date.

Maybe this will rekindle some excitement again for me with Amiga OS 4 as I have felt down about it for a good year plus now... and looking forward to good times again if that is in the cards.

@eliyahu

This... "Clearly Hyperion is guilty of this behavior, but they aren't the only ones. And more and more people leave, usually silently, month after month as a result."

That is me... silently (well I guess mentioning now) just walking away and moving on. Tired of all this, saying nicely, silliness, and lack of.

I am a nobody in this community so no loss to anyone. Just a guy that saw AmigaOS and the platform to be really cool in 2009... latching on, spending hard earned $$ in support of dealers and such, but now going on 12 years later, seeing the same old same old.

One can only be slapped so many times before they say enough is enough, take a loss, and move on.

I still own my X5K but to be truthful, I have lost most all love of the platform at this point.

I only stay for friends I have made at Amiwest over the last 12 years and if not for them, I would have folded up my tent long ago.

I never really play on other Amiga forums now. Such vitriol and unfun they have become. I check here every now and then just to see what is going on.

But I have moved on and odds are to never spend my hard earned $$ on anything Amiga again.

Bummer.

@pjs

Yeh... we need it back up so PJS and I can chat about what is for dinner!

Oh and beer!

Can't forget the beer!

TJ

It is AmigaOne X5000 video time now....

Come watch me try and play Blastaway on my AmigaOne X5K!

This game was a hoot to play and I really enjoyed it.
