Most bang for 600 USD?

[danbeaver]

I was hoping the UltimatePPC would come in about that price range; I've got a lot of life left in my current Amy's

[danbeaver]

Many of these ideas are "neat!"
But let's look at the numbers:  The latest & greatest (by some opinion) Amiga is the X1000; price? About 2 grand USD. Number sold? I don't know, but I guess maybe a few hundred. Number of active Amiga users worldwide? Maybe 5,000. The number who just want to play retro games? Let's guess 1/2 to 2/3rds. The number of new, non-Amiga users, "Techies," who would buy a new Amiga? Probably the same number who bought an X1000 (mind you these are folks who may have heard of the Amiga name, could afford it, and decided they could put to use such a machine)?  Maybe a few hundred.

So, how do recoup your R&D?  You all answer that question, because 600 USD doesonly go very far.

[The main question, by the way has a punch-line if you add an "s" to the word "bang"]

[danbeaver]

So what makes them drool?

The "That's Neat!!" factor.  They then lay awake in bed thinking how much they would enjoy something, "That Neat."

[danbeaver]

Would you explain the need to "sync down to 14 MHz" and how a serial interface can handle that much bidirectional data?  This is just because my degree was not in engineering, electrical or otherwise.

PC became available for really large corporations and goverments in the 1960s. The problem were size and price.

Huh?

You, with your Levitra, and Persia with his sad, crowing cock, need to get together

[danbeaver]

If one leave the hardware side of things, what applications would one desire?

I suppose Hollywood

[danbeaver]

I guess if had to determine which one was an Application that I would use on an Amiga and was nearer to $600, oh, let me see.....

Would it be a multi OS programming software package or a Wii hardware chip made by ATI? Gee, I get so confused with these heady issues.  It must be this Southern heat; I do declare Miss Scarlett, I just can't decide. You just make the decision for me; I am sure it will be alright

[danbeaver]

Why, I do declare Miss Freqmax, that I'm lost in all this talk of War Between the States.

"Look... I am not stupid, you know. They cannot make things like that yet."

The Most BANG for $600:

"Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
