Someone needs to learn how to do perspective in Photoshop properly. And I'm sure this would be really terrific if I wanted to buy a mostly-okay i5 system from a rent-to-own company for two or three times what I could build an equivalent system for.

...you know, how did they even do that? It's seriously not that hard, Photoshop lets you position each corner separately and does the appropriate transform all on its own. Maybe I was wrong, maybe they did it in MS Word...

Saying that something's less expensive than an Apple product isn't saying much...unless you really need an all-in-one computer, you can build an equivalent to a maxed-out $1080 one of these for about $300, and toss in a couple hundred bucks worth of 21" flatscreen while you're at it.

Amiga Inc. only talks in the language of direct cash licensure, the other three are all off on their own quixotic paths of varying degrees of insanity. None of the above are likely to be swayed by so simple a factor as popularity.

Besides, AROS already runs native on x86, and as far as I can tell both Intel and Nvidia 2D acceleration are supported, so I wouldn't think there should be a problem.

As for the Amiga brand.

Well it just goes to show what happens if you have enough money I suppose.
Amiga, Inc. can be anything you want it to be, baby. Would you like to go find a cheap motel room and have some fun with it? Cash up front, please!
