Still, there appears to be some discrepancy in what Amiga users say they will pay and what they actually do.
I think its more that there is a number of loud mouthed non-amiga users (people that would never purchase a new amiga), then there us real Amiga users who put our money were our mouths are and buy Amiga products that meet our needs.
The questions I asked myself before purchasing my sam440 Amiga and OS4.1 was would it be faster than my existing Amiga solution and did the price seem fare for what I would be getting and the amount of use I would get out of it. I decided the answer was yes to both questions and made my purchase which I am still happy with today a few years later.
Is my sam440 as fast as my desktop PC I purchased at the same time? No but its completely silent and has seen a massive amount of use playing back my music while I read, work on my PC and do other stuff as well as running OS4 and other Amiga applications.
Yes I could get a cheaper mp3 player or just use my PC, but my sam440 boots much quicker and uses less power and does not generate the same background noise as my desktop PC, so as an Amiga user its a solution that works for me :-)
