First of all guys, what someone wants to do with something they possess is not up to US. If they want to sell things for high prices thats on them. Considering its the vampire team themselves according to rumor have you guys thought about maybe they are using these funds to finance production? Not only that they deserve every penny they get!

Such as? Look at OS4, MorphOS and AROS, there you have plenty of hardware way faster than that of classic Amiga, way faster than AC 68080, yet... the software issue remains. Besides, the Vampire is not that much faster than a 060, especially since the 060 has a well supporter FPU. To really take advantage of the AC 68080, you need software written especially for it, you need dedicated support in toolchains and compilers - or do people expect developers to manually optimise all applications by hand using asm?



So it is almost comparable with a 5 year old smart phone :)


Bit rough taking one component of a contextual holistic response and tearing it down. It stands in context with the other reasons. Your alternates don't.
