Ben Hermans still staunchly against x86

I just want the Amiga IP opened to the community.  There's no real money to be made and no new prospective customers.  The community that has kept the various Amiga owners in business all these years would be better served by having the software and hardware open-sourced.  If that doesn't happen, the 'real' Amiga will wither away while AROS flourishes.

So we could have a machine with 7X as many idle cores as the X1000.  Mind boggling indeed.

I don't understand how that's such an obsatcle.  Linux runs on those machines, so why couldn't BeOS?

If the Pandora game system can sell for $350 in such modest quantities, then it has to be possible to create a low-end PPC Amiga for that price, even if it's just a motherboard and CPU.
