X1000 looking good on paper?

[Derfs]

Where was this picture taken? A show? Please tell me this was not A-Eon's doing!

why introduce facts when inuendo, and leaving it unanswered, will spread rumours like wildfire.

I believe it's from MAIN #5 party.

Isn't that the AROS kitten ?

@ Piru

  What is the SOURCE of this photo.  I went to mainparty.net and I couldn't find the photo anywhere, neither can I find any mention of Aeon, TreverD, X1000, AmigaOne, or AmigaOS4.  Where's the evidence that this was an official Aeon demonstration.  At best, I'd say it's just some over zealous Amiga fan trying to unofficially advertise the X1000, at worst it could be you (though I doubt it) taking a picture in his basement intentially trying to make a mockery of the X1000.

  At the VERY LEAST, you need to give proper references to your wild claims/photos.

Where's yours that Piru ever said or implied it?

Newsflash: The X1000 needs no help at all to be shown up as a joke.

You need to take a serious step back.

Piru so far as I can see in this thread has made no such claims whatsoever.

Feh, at $2300 USD for a 2GHz computer, it mocks itself.

I believe the word you're looking for is "blasphemy"

Because it's believable after the photoshop disaster?

[rebraist]

the two photos (they're clearly two) are taken from slightly different point of view. They could be taken even in two different moments. It's evident the difference in light (perhaps it could be the flash in the first to make a more complete tonal composition).
What it's not so obvious is that i wouldn't bet for sure that under paper there's nothing.
The second photo, is not in the same perspective so it can be used as a direct confrontation.
What does that machine mean?
The only one that can say this is the people who's taken the photos.
I think it'a convenction: in the first photo there's a badge on the case.
The hardpaper box on the table is linked to silicon sonic catweasel (the same box i have for catweasel). Does anyone know if in any convenction aeon used catweasel for x1000?
I'm an aros supporter so...
If x1000 isn't a rocket, apple machines are really really sad machines... the newest x86.
the old ppc ones are really really worse.
At least mr dickinson has two good things:
1) put his own face and money in what he believes.
2) he has the same surname as the iron maiden singer.
Up the irons.
Que viva aros.. er.. amiga!!

Or maybe it's the beta program?

I seriously doubt the faked X1000 in the picture is anything to do with A-EON. They have already shown the real deal actually running at the Vintage Computer Festival. They don't need to fake it.

Well not really, they have provided all of us with fake photos of the thing.

Have you seen the fake fascia with the boing ball on it? The actual fascia is black and flat, with no engravings whatsoever.

And I forgot to mention the sticker!!! LOL

[kolla]

And the ones they have shown running have not been open so one could see what's inside, who knows, maybe a peg2 in there?

[Gulliver]

Maybe it is an x86 running MPlayer on Aros!

Where's yours that Piru ever said or implied it?

 Well, I can easily counter that by asking you, "Where's your proof that I ever claimed that Piru made such a claim?"  I simply asked a question; it could have even been rhetorical. But, for the record, I DO claim that Piru was implying it. Asking me to prove something's that's implied is nonsensical and you should know that. You might as well ask me to prove that it's possible to prove things.

  However, the fact that (so far) the vast majority of people responding to this thread seem to be assuming the very thing I claim Piru is implying speaks volumes.
