I'd like to hear the occasional:
 "Made some progress"... "Didn't make any progress"
If there is no news at all, I start to worry that people might be leaving.

@ above
Would both be true? The high prices keep the hobby going. It encourages developers and help fund future hardware.

Some people did hang around to take advantage of users. I think because of bitterness that Amiga did not make them rich.

Is there any hardware that will be available -- as in ready and shipping -- in October or November?

On the Sysinfo benchmark would it ever show up at a faster speed? Can it be optimised further?

Did he mean the Commodore One is not an Amiga?

P.S. The PowerPC chip costs $500 alone. That is not going to help bring more people in and develop a market.

Should you stop him pestering for information? He probably has a lot of work to do till it is ready.

You could beat some low end ARM chips. What do you think it means for the hobby overall?
More interest, more upgrades would be nice.
In the least there will be more games that can be ported.

You need at least a pentium II 233 to get good rendering speeds? I vaguely remember.
I'm personally impressed by the latest AMD chips, the shared architecture works well.
