Eyetech site updated

I missed that $1000 part in the article. I saw the £200 more part (£550 in total for the board), which comes out at around $800 though, with a 700MHz G4. However this all depends on G4 pricing at the time (in 6 months time I imagine) and availablity, it could be cheaper, or it could be faster, or whatever.

But the trade-in offer is generous, but yes, "at current retail prices" doesn't mean "at purchase price", although it should mean a lot of good low-price G3-SE systems on the market early next year for a lot less money.

They have sent out 150 of these boards, which are probably arriving right now, or within the next week or two. Well, that is what I have been led to believe.

With the upgrade path, it makes purchasing the current AmigaOneSE a much safer thing, unless Eyetech drop the RRP down to $100 or so when the AmigaOneXE comes out and you only get a $75 rebate... I imagine the RRP would drop to $250 at the minimum however.

Hopefully AmigaOS4 will be shipping in a couple of months. Things appear to be coming together at the moment.
