If only Terra Soft offered AmigaOnes prepared with Yellow Dog Linux...    ...we might get a larger following - not to mention better software, like OpenOffice.org (OOo).

Somehow I think you don't know, what a joke you just made .....

A bit recap:
The "A1" is the consumer version of MAI's evaluation-board, called TeronPX.
(plus the dongle and "the name").

Last year Terrasoft wanted to sell just the same boards (bought directly from MAI offcourse)
under the name Boxer, but for some unknown and highly speculated reason they pulled out
of it. It is quite clear that they saw no market for it, but if that was due to
a)delievery probs
b)bugs in the chipset
c)them being unable to make a descent calculation
d)knowing/guessing what Apple would over now
or something different is unknown.

But comparing the price between the smallest Mac and a full A1-system, and comparing that
to the gigantic performace/feature gap, makes it quite clear that there is no market.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
