We all wanted the AmigaOne to be the harbinger of a new generation of machines. Sure, we knew that Wintel was never going to be under threat, but we hoped for a day when you could buy a new Amiga which could at least hold it's own with more modern machinery.
I guess that Alan and many others all had the same dream, and I'm saddened that there will be one less alternative to the Wintel monopoly.
