Why I want an A-Eon X5000

[DStastny]

Greetings,

This is my first post here. Recently for my 50th birthday I indulged myself in getting my hands on a loaded Classic Amiga 2000 after 25 years to get back to doing a bit of C coding as from what I can tell the core OS has not changed too much and figured since OS4 hardware has not been available its a good place to start.

 I have been professionally in development for over 30 years and am now an  executive overseeing a large international development team.  Programming for me now is a outside of work hobby and I look forward to bringing some software to the Amiga OS 4.X Platform.  I anxiously await to getting my hands on X5000 as I hope to be able to get LLVM up and running on OS4 possibly port Clang as I have fun little programming language that I can bring to environment.

Compared to all the modern OS systems I deal with day to day.  The Amiga is just plan fun!

So for my first post on Amiga.org I have registered my interest with AEON and I say bring on the X5000!

Thanks all for welcome.  

 Look forward to getting hands on powerpc hardware.  The Vampire project looks interesting too and could breath some life into 68k hardware. Not to be disrespectful to team working on it but a one man manufacturing and distribution channel they have set up needs to be greatly improved as it just seems random as to when or who can get one.   Although OS 4 hardware is not available either so I guess Vampire is ahead for moment
