the way I look at it is this:
If the natami materializes and its totally awesome, I win, because I can buy one, and it'll be totally awesome
If it materializes and it isn't awesome, it'll still be an amiga that can be bought, so at least its cool.
If it never materializes.. well, I didnt pay anyone any money, so what did I lose?
Im always amazed at the willingness of computer geeks to be so staunchly anti-technology and anti-tinkering. If some dudes in a basement kitbash something cool, then that's cool for all of us.
