£2.038 (plus £13 p&p) for a low specced machine is a joke and I've personally seen better computers thrown away at a tip.

I thought I would log in to see how times changed but still the remaining Amiga shops are doing what they do best (way over charging for items like its the nineties).

AMIGAOS4 will die because of GREED pure GREED. They have Amigaos4 locked down to uber expensive 10 year old spec hardware for a reason, and thats money and greed. If huge amiga fans can't jusifty the expense or afford the cost of ownership, any hope of any kind of a future or growing the user base is completely gone, and they know it.

All they can hope to do is rape the remaining amiga fans for as much money as possible while delivering as little as possible as far as value and performance goes.


AmigaOS4 was deliberately tied to expensive hardware from the start but it came around and bit them on the arse multiple times over the years but they still never learned from it before it was to late.............So after chasing everyone else (especially potential developers) away they're left with is the microscopic "we will pay any price" crowd.

Over two thousand pounds for that computer in 2014 is clearly making someone a nice profit and of course amigakit will deny it but its obvious a good profit maker and credit to him for cashing in.

Its allright though, there is alternatives...


I bought Amiga Forever 2013 for a fiver and now that was well worth the money.
