Look I'm tired, I will repeat again the x1000 is a premium machine aimed at developers (and Power users with no budget constraints).
it is not uderpowered at all for an Amiga machine, it actually sports a better than G5 CPU, and when you buy it you are not searching a bargain,+ mainstream is not a target.


Doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, it does not make it true.

Power users != Amiga users.

What applications are these power users going to run? Blender? Firefox?

To me amiga is all about classics, yes I own and use a Morphos machine but thats because its the most compatible, fast 68k workbench I can get, without going down the pure emulation route. If i really want to run blender or some other opensource application I easlly have 20+ machines here that can run it far aster than any NG Amiga.
I was run blender for years ago on my Sun Blade 1000 (dual 900Mhz Sparc Cpus) and I'd put that £200 machine in the pepsi challenge against any new amiga any day, it might get beaten eventually by the X1000 but i'm not holding my breath.

The point i'm trying to make is that most of the A.org community know that the amiga is dead, many don't own amiga's any more but its a spirital home to them and its usually the most relaxed forum until a user comes along and starts poking a stick in the hornets nest.
TMHG and leander are 2 guys I respect, I believe I own leanders old 3k (nice chain drilling BTW ;) ) but you cannot come on here spouting you ill informed views and ignoring the past without winding up the locals. There are certain people that are still in the Amiga world that drove the community to its various camps (at least 2 were at VCF) and they cannot be forgiven for their past actions.

If you don't want to be called up on every post, I respectfully suggest you return to where you views are more sympathetically received.
