940 coupons is far from 2500!! What are they going to announce? The winners of 940 t-shirts? I didn't buy the coupon because and don't have a dealer nearby who will accept the coupon. And following the results didn't give me any reason to buy one for the lottery since there obviously would be no winners. If I had thought there would be a chance of the lottery becoming a reality I would have joined. Do they hope to sell 1560 coupons at Amiwest which they will include without any notice? I thought a deadline was a deadline. Of course I should know better by now...

The club membership is meant to show that there is a significant amount of people who care about AmigaOS4. It is not really about a lottery itself, although having the chance of winning prices makes it more enjoyable to participate and follow this early promotion event.

Having around 1000 people caring enough about our future platform to join this Amiga club, is a very good sign already. These people are very likely to give good  support to 3rd party software developers as well. It is a solid minimal consumer base, which is likely to get much larger when the platform becomes available on the market!

IMO the club membership should be continued to be offered, even after the promotion period but in an alternative form, as there still are tons of people who haven't heard about the club yet, as they are on vacation or aren't reading on the internet that much.

once the NDA will be expired, people will get the developers boards while other will get the consumer version


What will the difference be between the developer and the consumer boards?

Alan stated on the A1 mailing list that the remainder of the dev boards (or user boards) will not be released until the firmware was complete. so wont this mean the boards will be the same?

Am I just being over optemistic or does anybody else think they may have extended  the deadline to coincide with Amiwest as they may be ready to make an announcement there about OS4?

Could hyperion be closer to completion than we think?

Just a thought, feel free to shoot this one down
