How would you do it?
A1 or Peg2 is all very nice but they doesn´t have a chance to reach the sales of the A500(+).


The Apple Imac G5 is close, but not cheap... not in the same category.

The closest thing I can think of is a Sony Playstation 2, add the Linux Kit to it (Keyboard, 40G HD, Mouse, NIC, VGA Cable) for less than $300US ($149 for PS2, $100 Linux Kit)...  and it will even have the classic Amiga reputation of being a "game machine," not a serious computer...   :lol:

Oh, but wait, for $200US you can buy a low-end PC with Linspire on it from Walmart... Maybe it can be the "Atari!"  :-o
