Oh nice so another thing finished being pipe dream?
 Nice... I am glad I did not "pre order" my X5000 aka overpriced PowerMac G5. Hey, here is a hint for you guys at A-Eon, maybe you guys should focus on actually finishing something? I know it's hard to actually finish anything when corporation has ADHD but no actual users will take you serious when all your hardware is "not available", "imminent pre order state", or is being announced to be announce.
 And for a moment I was hoping that there is going to be something actually available from you guys.

Ha. I did not realize that was my first post.  :)
Nice way to start my Amiga journey, from rant about empty promises.
 Sounds like 90's all over again... :)
 But seriously, nothing pisses off people more than nice hardware being announced and after YEARS of waiting never released.

@A2666

Welcome to Amiga.org, your first post here is most unconventional, most folks use it to introduce themselves.   Amiga.org is a friendly place and I would encourage you to open a new thread and tell us about yourself, for example, what brought you to Amiga.org, what Amiga systems do you own, and what your interests are in the Amiga world.

I will correct one of your points: the X5000 is not available to "pre-order" and the hardware is already finished, manufactured and ready to go.  Just awaiting Hyperion to finish the OS.  If you want to discuss this point, I, once again, suggest opening a new thread would be better than derailing this thread.


I kinda feel like you are the one who's derailing thread here. It was about sound card that was very promising, well 3 years ago. And now it's not. Because there is no sound card.
 And for your information I am here mainly like everybody else to discuss Amiga. What brought me here? Actually I was looking for hardware for my A2000. Any other questions I might answer for you?
 As far as X5000 I don't feel it's even worth opening thread for it. :)
 Now I have question for you: So what about that Sound Card? Is it going to be released or not? I just spent 1200$ on building A2000 and sound card is last thing I want.
 So simply should I wait or it's pointless and I should just buy something else?
That is the only thing I need to know, just simple answer.
 I want to purchase hardware I need and enjoy it. Preferably without 2 years waiting period and "Pre-order Imminent. Please check back soon !" note...

Hi

We have switched a few months ago to two new developers. Hopefully we will have some updates from their hard work.  

The hardware has been complete and is manufactured for some time.


So I will be the first one to say again. Sounds like there is no point in waiting.
 Sorry for being "negative" but if you tell people that:
1. You made hardware (but we can't buy it)
2. You have changed developers (which is never a good sign)
3. Hopefully you will have updates (well if only that hardware was made of hopes)
 then that does not encourage customers to wait or even consider buying that stuff.
Well thank you for response. I will consider different options for my Amiga then.
