What would be your move now that you know the price of the X1000?

My options are not listed.

I know, I forgot the Waffles  

Well that and...

Stick with my Classic Amigas as nothing seems capable of replacing them 100%.

Continue to use and love my experience with MorphOS (a fast as hell Amiga compatible environment, not emulator).

Hope for Natami or some high speed FPGA solution to arrive.

Dabble with AROS till it matures.

Use Amithlon.

Continue to give WinUAE the finger.

Continue to wonder why non-Windows based Amiga emulators continue to get no love.

Hold out on OS 4 till it is released for Powerful modern hardware that is priced decently so all can afford and enjoy.

Oh and continue to use my Atari 8-bits as well.

@XDelusion:  The most positive thing I see about your post is that you will not be a bored user whatever system you choose

You bet ya! Positive indeed!

I'll go sit and cry in a dark corner.

Cheer up little guy, there's still hope!

I think...

...if a ton of coders jumped on board to support this hardware, I'd be willing to go as far as $1,600 for one of these, though I was hoping it would be more like $1,300.

That of course would mean that the hardware would be 110%. Great 3D drivers, hi-speed on-line drivers, software that showed off what the programmable CPU could do, and more than anything, GREAT backwards compatibility! I think if this programmable CPU is anything like FPGA technology, that that might be possible. That would make it an Amiga, not having to use some sub-standard port of UAE, which btw is light years behind WinUAE.

Give me that, and at that price range, and I'm on bored!

In the mean time, it does not offer me ANYTHING that my classic Amiga(s) and MorphOS machine do not offer.
