Other than the weird bus that nobody is going to use this will just be another absurdly expensive vanilla PPC motherboard.

You mean it won't be used as a Uber controller for home made sex bots? ;-)

I'm sure someone will put an old mop head on top of their machine, maybe put some lipstick around the cdrom drive, or at least thats the impression I get from reading some of the outlandish comments non hardware engineers and non programmers are making about the possibilities of "xorro" and "xena".

this is the closest I could get to a spanish lesbian outfit for the A1X1k:

I second than emotion. Reminds me of those die hard alfa romeo owners who despise everything that modern alfa romeo does and only care about their old classic. Much like Amiga fans, they should consider themselves lucky that somebody is even interested in their niche market, in this age of globalization and all.

Why should anybody feel lucky? The prices are high and the quality is low. Your car analogy doesn't hold up. The new car is one with ripped interior and missing functionality.

Regarding the X1000, now that the Hyperion vs A-Inc troubles are over (or at least, settled)

Who cares? The whole mess could have been avoided if Hyperion had just delivered on time.

, I really hope the X1000 will form a niche in the HTPC area.

Not a chance in hell

All we need is a TV card (btw, are there any tv cards and capture software for the amigaos?) and a DVD player (btw, any good media players for amigaos?), a port of Media Portal to amigaos, and we are set.

No need for expensive "instant on" partitions and other messy solutions, as Amiga is snappy enough in booting. Also, no need to used the flawed WDM API of windows 7.

As I said, all we need is a media player and a TV card, and we are set.

We keep hearing about lame ideas for AOS4 like set top boxes and kiosks because there isn't really any use for this machine.
