Need proof that cheap hardware won't expand the userbase, look at morphos.
I'm sure you have numbers to support this or you wouldn't say something that immediately sounded so counterintuitive. Case in point: I (one person) wouldn't have bought MorphOS if it wasn't available for hardware that I could easily score for less than a hundred euros. That's an expansion of the userbase. Where's the logic in saying that it doesn't expand the userbase, given that I can prove that it has by at least one person?
Anyway, all luck and fun with this new system. I won't say that it's too expensive, because if you have the money to spare, it's just a matter of priorities. I'd personally rather see something with better backwards compatibility (i.e. classic chipset emulation) running on cheap off-the-shelf hardware than any of the current generation of workbench clones. WinUAE is good, but suffers from things that all software emulators running on top of full desktop operating systems suffer from.
