This is the problem with wanting to use AOS4.x series, you are going to have to pay serious amount of money for a system.  If you have to have AOS4.x, pay the money and be happy but please stop complaining.  There are very cheap (to free) alternatives that are readily available that are at a minimum, equal to AOS4.x experience.


Yeah I don't think complaining will make any amiga 4.x capable machines any cheaper. The only affordable future is porting the OS to arm or x86, which I think will be pretty dead before that happens.

I think the real problem is not the money, it actually is the contradictory philosophy behind it. On the one hand we see the decision for a much better hardware architecture, but on the other hand, the unwillingness to consistently look forward. In the long run was just that in many ways a tactical mistake. So I think the X1000 would be particularly for potential programmers a much more interesting business field, if one were to focus solely on the actual hardware, rather than remain permanently backward compatible.

It's always about money.  With the money, you can do anything including breaking from the past as Apple did when it jumped to PPC and then to X86.  Without it, you stuck in quicksand, sinking as the rest of the world moves forward.

Yes, Hyperion landscape is littered with tactical mistakes that have come back to bite them.  Perhaps they will be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat at AmiWest as the clock ticks toward them becoming irrelevant.

May be, but we are not talking about industrial investments here. Our topic is the amount of money one has to pay for the product, and it doesn't so much matter in this context. Much more important than that is breaking the old barriers for advanced software development, and that's what was missed from Hyperion until today unfortunately!

I can hardly wait to see what surprises they have in store for us at Amiwest this year.  ssolie just teases us too much!

VS a couple of angry German's.

Not much of a challenge.


Angry Germans? Where do you think Ralph Schmidt, Frank Mariak, Stefan Stuntz, Phase5, bPlan, and therefore MorhphOS originated from? Anyway, who cares about such things nowadays.

I'd call them the cream of the crop of 1990's Amiga software and hardware development talent.

Please remind me who Ben's team are again?
