Yep, and I actually enjoy tuning them, but it takes time, lots of time ;)
 

 
But while we are at it, how about this ?
 
Board is ready and your X1000 is ready to rock and roll, it has OS4.2 on it (that is what it seems to be getting on it) and it all runs fine.
You can internet on it, you can play audio on it, so your favorite mp3's and all things and it can even show your video's.
 
And then ?
 
It can't play modern pc games, or any other platform like Xbox or Playstation, other than Amiga Classic, it may be able to do the ported Quake and so on, but it won't play Call Of Duty or Need For Speed for example.
 
At most offices they use Word and Excell, so here comes an email with a word document, you may be able to read it if that exists on OS4.1, but can you also fully edit it ?
You get a PDF also, again it might be able to read it, but can you also edit it ?

Well it might not play the latest games yet but with multiple core support and Gallium being developed for AmigaOS and PCIe graphics cards the X1000 is a very positive step in the right direction.

Word, Excel and PDF documents have been viewable and editable in AmigaOS for quite some time, also not to mention Trevor Dickinson is funding the AmigaOS port of openoffice light which is a little while off completion but will eventuate.
