1.2 million dollars. How many of these boards do they have to sell to break even? I'm no accountant, but something seems off spending 1.2 million dollars for a hobby board. Or is this just hype and or bull%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!?

Two different systems so far now with multicores for an OS that only supports one core. When are they finally going to address this?

How many years has x1000 been out now?

2ghz is still too slow for a "new" computer.

Stay powerpc and stay irrevelant. Only amiga makes it possible.

I check in here still, but I think I'd be best sticking with classics...

I like AROS, love what I've seen from MorphOS but os4 continues to be a disappointment on so many levels. I've got news for them, not many people are willing to spend so much money for a 2ghz motherboard where only one core works.

When I imagine Hyperion... I imagine someone with horse blinders on mumbling "We can still make a comeback!"

I've said it before, I'll say it again, no one is spending such money for power pc boards for "embedded applications" They won't release sales figures, they won't even mention a customer who has used their boards for that purpose.

These boards are for amiga os4, and thats all. Great they run linux too. I can get a 2ghz x86 board for 20$ that can run linux.

Smoke and mirrors...
