Who cares would probably fall into "No" in my opinion. To click yes implies you have an interest/opinion on the matter.  :)

I dont think many people will select yes, Im not really sure why you'd think it'd be pollworthy. Even those people that think A1x1000 is overpriced/underspecced/the wrong move/whatever I'd like to think arent nasty enough to want someone from the communities efforts, time and money to fail. The negativity in general towards it I think is more because it's so average/normal/whatever, and spec wise, a bit underwhelming. Yes, AmigaOS and its variants are typically pretty efficient. The OSes themselves are super responsive and quick on slow hardware, but this rule doesnt often apply for the software running on said OSes. CPU intensive software is just as cpu intensive on Amiga OS as it is elsewhere.

So, my take on it alll is nice effort, but not what Im after in a modern amiga, especially not for the proposed price.

Anyway, sorry for going slightly off topic, my brain when on a tangent and my fingers followed  :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
