@djbase,
The hijacking of this thread is, well, a bit desperate. Not only was strobe off-topic, but spamming in violation of the posting guidelines. It also violates the posted guideline about "staying on topic", so it's equally in the wrong.
That being said, I won't edit or delete the comment, because -- simply stated -- I don't need the aggravation of listening to all the "baby blue trolls" whining about "censorship" (when in fact, I would simply be enforcing the POSTED rules), but the incessant need to hijack Amiga-related threads by some seems fairly desperate to me.
Of course, Genesi putting out such a specially priced machine the day after Alan pretty much declares the AmigaOne dead is a typical marketing decision by Genesi management which is designed to fragment the Amiga community and capitalize on people's disappointment from Alan's interview.
In the end, buy whatever you want, run whatever you want. I don't really care, but the rules are in place for a reason. All I ask before you purchase either machine is that you do your research and decide for yourself which is a company that really deserves your hard-earned money for a product that may, or may not make it into the future beyond 2006.
