Well, how much capital would be required to develop and support hardware?
I personally think US$500,000 is a small amount considering the market sector for hardware and the barriers to entry.
my two cents
It almost sounds canadian the way some talk about Amiga Inc. I personally want to see them succeed as we will all succeed. We have a 12-14 year old technology, we aren't going to find too many out there to commit to our technology: let's work with who we have.
