Funny, I seem to remember Amiga Inc.'s standpoint on all of this was they don't care about the Amiga platform... They said that from day one. Their only interest was in their "Amiga Anywhere" project, which was nothing more than an advertising gimick by using a well-known brand name. AmigaOne, AmigaOS4, the whole "modernized platform" was meerly designed for us hobbyists. Bringing "Amiga" back was never in the design. Ever.

You think the prices of AmigaOS4 boards are bad now?? Wait untill the real reprocussions of the death of ApplePPC hit. Far fewer PPC chips being used, far fewer being produced, supply will shrink, price will dramatically increase. It's inevitible.

I just hope we can get enough PPC boards, cheaply and quickly enough to beat this fate before OS4 completely dies.

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
