Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

[divined]

I myself haven`t invested yet in anything else than classic Amiga hardware. I have my old A500 and an beefed up A1200. So I`m craving for some new hardware to try Amiga OS on.

  I could go the other way and buy myself a PowerMAC to run MorphOS on. But isn`t even that hardware getting itself old??

  On the other hand AROS is nice. Nonetheless, I haven`t managed to run it without major problems on any of MY x86 systems I tested it on. So it`s not ready for prime time!!
 
  So the dilemma is between an X1000 and a SAM 460. Which one I`ll buy? I would prefer the X1000, so my answer to this question is yes, finances sufficing!!

lol. usage premium comes at a high price though.

Seriously, I would buy an X1000 if I could afford one. But I think the a sam460 is much closer to my portfolio!!

After following this thread for several days I discern an unoptimistic view of the future of Amiga. Well, Amiga OS 4.1 is not a top notch OS, not even remotely. It lacks many eases that are taken for granted on Windows and Apples, even on Linux.

  Nonetheless, the platform is still alive and with one way or another it is moving forward. Even new Amiga systems like the X1000 and the SAM boards still remain in the hobbyist domain, at least as I see them. I wouldn`t expect to get the same functionality as on my 4-core main desktop.

  But yet again, by using it, maybe even developing something for it, that just might be a little pebble that helps the Amiga live on. I just don`t expect it ever again to become my main computer!!
