Interesting card.
Classic owners/users are getting a few choices in recent times, which is great, and also shows there's reasonable interest in the platform.

In regards to the Individual Computers stuff, history seems to suggest that theyre more a business than enthusiasts. Not really a criticism as its provided people with new gear, but Im loving the fact that genuine fans/users with skills and knowledge are now also getting involved and offering other options (without money being the prominent interest).
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.

Exactly, as I said, more of a business than enthusiasts.
It's not exactly new behaviour for them. Catweasel pretty much rely on 3rd party drivers, and features for things like Indivision didnt happen, instead people had to buy the new model to hope for what they mightve bought the original for.

When you have close to a monopoloy you can get away with this sort of behaviour, which is why Im glad there's becoming alternatives by enthusiasts.
There's definately talent and Individual Computers, and theyve had some decent products, but in light of alternatives hopefully they'll rethink their "stratergies".
Having said this though, surely by now the old saying, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" applies.

I never said there was, and in fact said it was good they were around.
Much like any business though people will form opinions based on practices.
In the face of competition shortfalls might be worked on, which is great for the consumer.
