I understand the high prices of Amiga stuff but for me the retro-computing/collecting has always been hunting down computers for cheap or even for free.  If I had all the money of world I could buy all the computers but it wouldn't be the same thing anymore.  

I always get awesome kicks when I manage to find an old and cool computer from someone attic or for free from recycling center. I have a such recycling place near to my home and I have been digging there retro stuff from piles in size of two storey houses! Dozens of C64s, Amigas, Amstrads, etc. just lying around,totally unbelievable! :-o

Of course sometimes I buy stuff in big bucks (like a new Mediator for A1200, from AmigaKit BTW!) but that is always when I have been hunting it for a couple of months or even years without results.  I paid for my BPPC + alot ram 100e and it has worked perfectly (ok at first I got some HW problems but not anymore) and I hunted it for 1½ years (to get a BPPC at reasonable price).

Damn, Amigas are like women; first you can't understand them, then you love them and then they'll leave you! :-(
I could save Aeon, but she will not come. Who will save me?

Now it is almost a joke.

Only thing that is joke in OS4 is that it tries to be a commercial product.  I bet that no one would whine about it if OS4 were just an opensource OS-project for very rare computers (which BPPC-Amigas are).

Is the OS4 pointless and useless for most of the people (for those who don't have PPC-Amiga)? Yeah sure, but so what?
