Here is a theory: the people who complain about the X1000 price can't afford one, and rather than complaining about how they ended up in a dead end, low paying job due to a lack of a work ethic or not getting good grades in school, they whine over the cost of a computer. It is obvious that they want to be able to own one, but can't make the money to afford one.
So rather than going for the "sour grapes" basis of existence and showing that their poor choices in life are their own fault, they should spend their time trying to make more of their pathetic little lives.
Speaking of poor choices, who in their right mind with $3,000 would make it a priority to spend it on a computer with an out of production processor with a dead end future road map, 10+ year old technology, and a 32-bit operating system running on a 64-bit processor that can't even support the second core?
Call me lazy, but the last thing I want is a $3,000 paperweight. And you might want to lay off on insulting people who don't make a lot of money at what they do. After all, once Hyperion stops updating OS4 the only upgrade path you'll have is Linux.
