SAM 460 poor performance, high price

Webtigers, they tend to lack social skills and a general life.
But I garee with you 100%, its sad to see people like this, use so much time and energy to bash.

Well, look from their perspective. They have the reason to trash the new Amiga hardware about its price and speed. Because a person who reads this thread would eventually decide against AmigaOne hardware and buy Mac then end up buying MorphOS license = profit for the OP.

So, the time spend on posting on this forum is well calculated and even if 1% of the people who read it, decide to go for Mac instead of AmigaOne, it's directly filling their pockets.

People are of course free to express their opinion about me but here I must take an exception. I am not getting any "profit" from this.

Since when MorphOS became non profit (i.e FREE)? I must have missed the news. Please point me where to download full UNRESTRICTED version of MorphOS for FREE?

I think Piru is saying he does not get paid at all for being a MorphOS dev, pretty easy to understand I think

Shall I edit my posts in order to gain credibility?

Okay thanks for the clarifications. I stand corrected.

Thanks to the clarifications I know more now.

Now I know that buying AmigaOS products (software and hardware) is helping the Amiga development (software and hardware) instead of giving money for expensive (it seems) web hosting and old Mac hardware.

Purchasing Sam 460 helps Hyperion and Acube develop further as the money goes back to the niche.

Purchasing old Mac helps the initial owner to buy newer model Mac (Intel based) that will not run MorphOS.
Purchasing MorphOS license goes for expensive web hosting (is it the server running on MOS?), purchase of old Mac hardware (that helps the initial owner to buy newer model Mac, that will not run MorphOS) and does not help the MorphOS development at all, because as stated by one of the main devs - its a hobby for him.

All in all - for the people who want to have Amiga now and in the future - better buy Amiga.

seems all this "amiga" is some kind of charity excercise. but a trusty charity demands transparency. anything else is plain silly.

So, back to the topic name - it says SAM 460 - poor performance, high price

Okay, all the Amiga hardware released after the Amiga 3000, had poor performance and high price. This is nothing new. The Amiga 3000 was the last model that had decent price/performance ratio and even was used as a UNIX workstation (Amiga3000UX), because similar UNIX configurations from other vendors were much more expensive. All the later Amiga models where with poor performance and high price.

Beating own chest, trying to prove something that everyone knows, 20 years after the release of the Amiga CDTV and the Amiga 600, which were disasters and disappointment and already expensive with poor performance is plain silly.

So far the charity exercise, did not help the Commodore survive. All the persons who still use Amiga, know that the hardware is expensive with poor performance, but it does not stop them from buying it.

On the other hand - Mac hardware is also with poor performance and high price, compared to the PC hardware. Be it brand new or second hand.
