€840... People like you are sickening the Amiga market. I'm sorry but I'm not happy with those numbers. I hope you use her and not store her as a museum piece like a lot of people.
While I don't feel as strongly about this as the above poster, I do feel it's a waste when someone buys a PPC "only" to play games, play MP3s and watch DVDs (not saying the original poster is going to do this). In these cases the PPC's full potential goes unused. I consider this a shame, when such a PPC Amiga would make a big difference to someone doing "productivity" work where horsepower is needed: multi-track audio recording, video editing, ray tracing, desktop publishing, etc. These sort of things really require a PPC and push it to the limit - also creating something new in the process.
However, I fully acknowledge that it is his money and his property. So he can buy the PPC board and smash it with a hammer if he so chooses. I have no right to say anything about it.
It's just too bad that the mad dash for these boards has driven prices so far up - making them unaccessible to most who could really use them.
But I still hold out the very faintest of hopes that *someone* has something up their sleeve for 2008 (read: new PPC boards to go with the release of OS4 Classic). :-D
