AmigaOne 500

One thing that I don't get about you is that you sound really upset and angry over the prices but at the same time you say that pretty much anything is better and that doesn't add up. Now if you would like hardware to be cheaper/better so that you could run AOS 4 I would understand your reaction but if you think that it's crap then I don't know why you bother writing long and angry replies?

However I agree on it being very expensive but if I had money to spend and really wanted it I would *maybe* buy one. But that's just me.

I also think that there is nothing wrong with buying a complete system. I have built many computers over the years and that is not a problem and kind of fun but at the same time, if I buy something new I want to play with it ASAP. I can check out the hardware later. If I buy a Mac I don't have much options but I don't cry over it.

My PowerMac is just gathering dust. MacOS X is ok but the lack of software are begining to show. If AOS 4 or MOS becomes available I will install it right away. Linux runs better on my PC, AROS I'm not interested in (yet). A dual-boot with MacOS X and AOS 4/MOS would be great.

As I said earlier in the thread, I don't have an interest in OS4 myself, but I feel bad for people who do and are stuck with having to shell out $800-1200 for something that even a $100 used Mac outperforms.

That, and I resent the implication some people keep making, that people who express their disappointment that ACube's lead-on marketing stunt was only to announce their same product at the same basic price but in an ugly case are just haters, and that this (like the X1000) is automatically entitled to our adulation just for existing.

You must feal really sorry about people then, sounds nice and a bit scary at the same time to engage yourself so much in a product that does not interest you for the sake of other people. I can think that it is bad but I choose to not put more energy into something that isn't my decision. It doesn't help, it doesn't make me happy and it doesn't change anything. Or at least I try to not get engaged, depending on how well my A1 are working. If it breaks I might not be able/want to buy the 500 or X1000.

Yes but just for G4, right?
