AmigaBounty to raise funds for 2 Developer Hardware Loans systems has already made the first target and is now only 225 euros short for the second system.  Many thanks to all who have donated so far.

Call me cooky, but shouldn't hyperion just provide these machines to the developers?

Look,we are a TINY computing group and it is almost beyond belief anyone even bothers to develop new hardware for us.

Expecting free hardware is  just a bit further into fantasy land.

Since the rigged lotto system failed yet again (that makes three  times in three years I bought a ticket,still not a winner)to award the $200,000,000 prize to me,my sugar-daddy venture capitalist funding of Amiga remains confined to  small bounty donations.
 So unless someone else with lots of money bankrolls the new Amigas it is going to continue as pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

Ta dah!!!!!!!!!

Well you did, you broke the 1400 euro target and AmigaBounty now has now enough funds to purchase 2 Sam440ep-flex (733) "Vento" type systems complete with OS4.1 for the AmigaBounty Developer Hardware Loan program.

The total funds raised amount to an excellent 1442.8 euros. Any excess funds in the bounty after purchasing the 2 SAM's will be used for shipping costs.

Many thanks again to all who donated to this true community project!!

Maybe Hyperion should match those funds so 4 machines will be available to developers?

:)
