the Sams are far below the AmigaOne in quality. The Amigaone was nowhere near perfect but it is not a POS. Not even the Sam is a POS. The G4, G5 and PA6T are great, innovative CPUs. The G5 would have survived, if we had stopped looking at the numbers and looking at the fact that all the Hz in the world don't matter if the platform is sh*t. The G4 at 1.67 Ghz was kicking the P4 at 3.2's arse. If they had developed a dual core G4 for the laptop market, and created a stopgap between the G5 and PA6T then maybe Apple would be great, today they are rich but their latest product quality has slid downhill. Teh fact of teh matter is the first gen x86 Macs provided little benefit over the previous generation, the quad G5 beat out the Xeon in all areas tested. Your average computer buyer probably has teh IQ of 90 or above, and thats being generous and I can guarantee that the new x86 crap out there is made in some no name village in China or Thailand to someone who makes less than $100 a week.
No wonder the AMiga community declined, we have so many deluded members who want us to go the way of BeOS, which died due to moving to x86 and directly going against Windows and Linux. Its a no-brainer that we share many parallels with the BeOS group, small size, highly literate users and a huge division between what soem people want to go against Windows yet again and the sensible group who believes that, for the time being they don;t stand a chance in hell. We are in a similar, although somewhat better predicament.
