Sorry Jim,
But the man is a <--- moderated myself there.
Try an convince him to make a sane business plan.
Hell, if he marketed "Amiga" products along the lines of cases for classic machines, Minimig, FPGA or Natami then I'd buy them.
This whole "Amiga PC" with "Workbench 5" is utter crap!
dont you get it the amiga thing is hot air and smoke screen to take attention away from the x1000 camp , same old ploy amiga inc used .
fine if you want build a pc in c64 looking case fine but dont try sell the amiga crap
he either just hyping it up hoping to draw attention or backing to his project
as for them going on about the cost of the case design that just what you have to pay for
the plastic tooling and dyes nothing unusaul about that but doesint mean its some great plan
bottom line for this to work he got sell thousands of pcs with retro cases
and there already others on the market good luck with that
