With the cost of this new albeit SLOW by todays stanards Amiga. I just can't justify it.

For that cost I can configure a Tricked out QUAD boot PC (MacOs, Linux, Win 7, XP) and have money left ovr for a decent entry level laptop and run Amiga software on that faster than I could with the X1000.

Good luck to them though. I guess the market  for this machine is crazy Amiga fanatic that will spend beyond top dollar for old tech.

Yep a sticker is friggin cheap... NewTek uses OEM PC's made in China for the Tricaster line. At least they have the class to pad print (silkscreen) the NewTek logo directly onto the mouse and the Keyboard that comes with the system. The cost of pad printing is like at MOST is like 50 cents pwe unit. If they're getting ripped off then a $1.00 per unit. At the cost of the machine they can easily absorb that. Ugghhh....
