Ease off bashing AmigaONE X1000?

[yssing]

I think a lot of you should read the latest interview with Trevor, the driver thing is explained there.

Regarding the price of the x1000 system, yes it is a bit pricy, but really classic users pay good money for old and used hardware, so its nothing new.

Besides, its not like new macs are cheap either, and they are basically just your ordinary household PC.

TMGHM , do you know that for a fact, or are you just being, well you, and trying your best to bash the x1000.

I am very sure that the x1000 did not push people away, I actually believe it did quite the opposite.

NovaCoder, and it a shame it pushed you away. The classic does benefit a lot from your work though

But as Trevor said, the x1000 sold more than 200 but less than 2000, one can only speculate on the numbers actually sold, but it does confirm that the user base is a lot bigger than the handfull of users here on amiga.org

The disappointment was because people expected Hyperion to drop PPC and go to new and more powerful hardware (X86/X64),

Who expected that to happen?
Hyperion have stated time and time again, that a port to X86 is not going to happen.
So if any one got disappointed, then they must be living in an other world.

If they want some form of aos for x86, they can use aros or uae, or maybe persuade morphos developers to port that to x86 rather than depend on old macs.

Twaddle.

they are cutting their noses off to spite their face.  They have lost many many sales by not porting to Mac hardware.

Do you have some real facts, some real numbers or are you just speculating?
