Whats wrong with preaching to the choir? There are still many 68xxx users around that still havent taken the leap to PPC. If anything, it would be easier to entice a still active Amiga user, than to pull in people that have already left the "scene".
I can tell you right now, if there was a decentish AOS4 hardware alternative in the 3-400 euro range I would jump on it immediately. And Im even aware of the OS's shortcomings
For now tho, Im sticking to 68030, but I still cheer AeonKit on, and pick up classic hardware/software from time to time.
As for being "delusional" for thinking there is a Amiga market; that depends on your refrence point. Noone belives AOS or Amiga in general will become mainstream again.
But that doesnt prevent vendors/developers to create a hobbymarket that can sustain several entities. Amigakit is a fulltime vendor with employees, and it looks to me they are trying to secure a future to stay a fulltime Amiga company. Great for them (and us).
Additionally Ive used vendors like Amigastore.eu, Vesalia and Induvidual Computers.
I see the Amiga "market" healthy as long as its able to maintain a customer count that can sustain all these vendors (and others).
New/updated software in addition to hardware (NG and classic) coupled with more streamlined storefronts are one of the steps.
As for ciVic's comment about the email adress to get in contact with A-Eon;
I agree, it seems like they need to work on their email procedure.
Personally I work in a small company, with my boss doing xx things every day. I got a feeling reading emails often drops rather far down on the list of things to do.
Last time I checked he had over 400 unread emails(!!). Personally Id say a company needs to ensure, that when they leave the office, every single mail has been read, but yeah.
I would not be suprised AeonKit got the same issue. If its only Trevor and Matthew reading those mails, Its no wonder emails go unread.
The last few weeks they have been traveling to xx Amiga meetings.
I sent a email to that email adress myself several weeks ago regarding login to AmiStore. No reply for weeks. Eventually I got tired of waiting, so I contacted Matthew directly to his Amigakit user on Amiga.org. Got a quick reply then.
But Obviously not how it should be, even tho I understand it.
