AROS vs traditional Amiga vs SAM

Why would you NOT want a SAM?

Because there are other (IMHO better) alternatives. I already have a Pegasos and Efika running MorphOS, there's nothing that attractive in OS4 to make me spending my funds on an expensive Sam-Board.

Also I find this calcuation quite convincing:

For more or less the same amount (bare Sam-Board (w/o case, drive, psu)+ OS4 = 666,90 EUR @ Vesalia) I get an Eee (The Eee 900A cost me 240 EUR) *and* a Mac Mini including MorphOS 2.x license (Mac Mini about 275 EUR, MorphOS 150 EUR).

Bare Sam + OS4=666,90 EUR or
Eee 240EUR + Mini 275EUR+ MorphOS 150EUR=665EUR

I took my choice.

For the record: If Sam incl. OS4 was 300 EUR I'd bite and add a OS4 maschine to my colection. Of course it is a nice system, too. But I doubt I would use it a lot.

@ Zylesea:

Excuse me, but for those of us that do not deal with the PPC mac hardware, what is an EEE 900A, and specs of it?

The Eee 900A is nothing with ppc and nothing with Amiga at all. It is a Linux driven 8.9" 1.6 GHz Intel Atom netbook by Asus. It was just an example what you get for the difference a Sam + AOS4 costs and a Mac Mini + MorphOS costs.
And I spent this difference for that said 900A.
