Why cant a company make money on Workbench, and work with the community, not towards them, stirring up more problems.
We all want to run Workbench on modern hardware that is not expensive. Yes, I know A1000 cost 1500 dollars back in 1985, but lets face it. Its not 1985 anymore.
It is 2010.
I have not met ANYONE in modern times that explicitly wants a PPC system for their workstation. This new X-factor motherboard is just weird IMHO (sorry).
Why not think outside the box and work towards uniting the community towards a common goal so that we become stronger, once we are united we could spread the word about new-school Amiga in a positive way and rewards would come back both to Amiga and to the company who are the new "Amiga".
My vision of Amiga is a system that can compete with the Windows and Apple world. By creating a system designed for a niche market such as a market that uses the x-chip, what kind of signals does that action send out?
That Amiga is not as good as PC/Mac and will never be so there is no point trying, "lets find a niche market instead"?
