guys I really don't understand the negativity here?  Rigo has done great things for OS4 (AmiUpdate, CodeBench, Update 1 work etc.) ..sheesh give the guy a break..we all have bad days!

btw, I'm looking forward to dual booting AROS & OS4.1 on my Samflex system as I see the port has been coming along nicely recently

....Where Amigas are concerned, I'm in the x86 camp. But I qualify that with an "if it must be PPC, then Wii, XBox or PS3." These would at least get AmigaOS into the hands of enough people that a market could start to form... but, no... instead we continue down a route that has thus far proven to be a failure.

And I'm dazzled by the foolishness.

well as both an owner of classic and NG miggy's I must say yet again that I applaud Hyperion, ACube and now A-Eon for fighting and supporting Amiga through rough and now good times.  I am very happy with Amiga OS4.1.1 and I'm having a blast with it and my Samflex :-)

...But you can only have this IF you can get hardware into the hands of enough people. Given the current state of Amiga, the best solution is an inexpensive one; the lower the price, the more willing people might be to give it a try again. Just as Amigans were once unwilling to leave their platform because of all the money they had invested in it, now many are unwilling to move back because of all the money they would have to invest in it. So, the only way you might ever have a thriving market again, is to lower the cost to entry. A higher price only guarantees that people will stay away and the X1000, with a higher price and an uncertain future guarantees that all but the most faithful will stay away.

ahh yes valid counterpoint but it's a catch 22 situation my friend :-)....MOS is available for MAC MINI'S but I don't see the masses running to buy used mac minis and AROS is free with great recent development but they are struggling to attract ex-Amigans never mind the masses...we are a niche market and, in a way, have always been
