While I find the X1000 interesting, the logic in spending 3 grand for a sub G5 performance system doesn't add up.

And you expect people in general to be primarily logical actors?

How about people on an Amiga board? :)

Well said!

Many people will disagree with this ridiculous "MorphOS is Amiga done right!" nonsense, because how is a MACINTOSH an Amiga? Really, how is this hard to understand?

Well, in what sense is an X1000 an Amiga other than by name? Neither have anything in common with the A1000, 500, 2000, 3000, 4000 or 1200 except their processors are compatible with some rather obscure PPC expansion for the originals. Older versions of both OS 4 and MorphOS run on original hardware, too, right?

It's pointless arguing over which is the best or which is "Amiga done right" when everybody is so opinionated and zealous. It all basically boils down to personal preference, and there's no sensical reason for anyone to get upset and resort to ad hominem over someone else disagreeing about such a banality, even if they are being loud and smug about it. Everyone is free to state their opinion, and people should recognize that even when it's not very gracefully executed.

EDIT:
The post is based on the assumption that you are on the "OS4 side" of this petty battle, but I guess that might not be the case.
