The X1000 will be > $2,225

[desiv]

Frankly if it was 5000 dollars, some of you will pay. Some people are stupid enough to spend 60k dollars on a pair of speakers.

<2000 quid is a snip.

Shall I trade in my Capri

That's crazy..  Unless...

Did they use Monster Cables?  Those are worth the $2000 right there!!!
Monster Cables for my X1000!!   Yeay!!!
:roflmao:

Ok, that's too much for me, but I'm not the target audience...

Also, I doubt it's worse for Piru than he initially thought..  ;-)

But I do agree..  There are people who spend well over a thousand USD on a decked out SAM Amiga system, so I'd think they might be interested in this at twice the price.  It wasn't that long ago that people routinely spent that much on a computer.

And, this is also aimed at the "early adopter" market.  Those people will pay almost anything..  :hammer:

However, to be successful, you need enough of these "early adopters" so a second run might be cost effective.  With the competition on the low end (real old Amigas and minimigs, etc), I don't see them competing there.
OR..  You need enough of these early adopters/hardcore fans with disposable income and you keep the price high...

I don't see either happening..
Then again, I didn't think people would pay for shareware in the stores and know someone who made a lot of money doing that..  So, who knows..

The fact that much of it was written in 68K assembler really strains credibility that any of it was particularly useful, and Hyperion developers have said as much.

I thought most of the OS was written in C?
The RKM hints at that:

Most of the Amiga operating system is written in C (with the rest written in 68000 assembly language), hence C is the language used for the programming examples.

I risk being labeled a troll for this next link,

:lol:
That has to win the award for the most subtle trolling ever!!!

I'm not going to say you are vaporware....  No way!!  Not in a highly emotionally charged thread...

But.. and this is just for historical perspective mind you, I will include this link to vaporware hardware, not that I am in any way implying you might be...

It's just an off-topic link...  No reason for anyone to take offense there..

Wow, that was a trolling of beauty!!!!  

:laughing:

(So, was this the "if they're going to accuse me of being a troll, I might as well do it" post???  Because, I didn't think you were trolling before.  No question here tho..)

Err, were you paying attention to who I posted it for and what had been discussed before? This is a user who by his own admission has been away from the platform since 1997 and missed all of the negatives.

Think what you want, but if I have something negative to say about the X1000 I will say it outright.

Oh, so if you are dealing with someone who is a problem, then you can say what you want and it's not trolling???

-Edit-

I see you registered in October 2009, that also explains a lot...

And what exactly does that mean??? :confused: As I said, I didn't think you were trolling before, but I thought that last comment was (IMHO) trolling...

But I didn't realize that a moderator on this forum should be able to treat users differently because they only recently joined...  Apparently, I'm not "in the club"?

Before, I thought you were just upset about being called a troll when you weren't and reacting..  Not anymore..

That won't be a problem anymore....
