so either amiga.org is totally not the target group or we dictate corporate policy ?


Of course we are not the target group.  If we have 4,000 active users world wide at this point in time, we are doing pretty good.  If CUSA sold to each and every one of us, it would be a financial disaster.  They need to sell atleast 20,000 units to make any significant investment like a new all-in-one case worth while.  I know it's a tough thing to get ahold of, but what we represent as a market is not economically viable.   We are too small in numbers even if we all bought a given product.  Given today's economy, it would have to be a very inexpensive item at that.

We've been heading down this road for many years, and the candle wick has burned out completely.  Enjoy what is left of the paraffin, there isn't anything left past that.  Some day that too will be gone.

Some of us have dipped our feet in the pond and know how deep the water is.


Yeah, I've dipped my toes into the Amiga pond:

I moderated no posts, my opinion was given. We all have them and this is a great place to express them. That's what makes Amiga.org cool.


Perhaps you should be posting from a personal account instead?  It would be easier for us to understand if it's your own POV vs policy statement coming from Admin.

And this would be based on? pure speculation?


Who else would have that type of money to invest in Chinese hardware?
