Will you be buying an AmigaOne X1000 ?

Nope. For $99 you can get an XMOS dev kit and connect it to any computer you want - there goes the X1000's big "feature" right there.

I'd also want to see a TV advert to know they are serious

Would a video on YouTube be serious enough? Because that's about the extent of it.

I even say that it is not so much a question of buying a new motherboard, how to support the development amiga as platform altogether.
I believe that everyone who is connected with Amiga, must somehow try to help in its development.

We're talking about the X1000 here, not the Amiga.

OK i'll rephrase that. Swap quality for pride. After watching trevor on youtube talking about the x1000 it's the first time i have considered buying an ng amiga. For me the sams and the pegasus were soulless but the x1000 clearly has emotion put into it so i want a part of it.

To this day when i touch my a500 i feel pride but when i bought my quad core 2 months ago i threw it on the table and switched it on and i didn't give a damn about it. It will be a relief to pick up an amiga again and feel pride.

I think I get it. It doesn't matter what the actual product is, just the way it's presented. So if Trevor had been talking about your 2-month-old quad core, would you have felt pride about it then?

We have a LOT of people like Trevor here in Florida, particularly in South Florida. They usually target the elderly, infirm, and desperately lonely.

Come on Jorkany, that is a little strong isn't it?

I guess we'll find out eventually. My opinion didn't start out that way but has shifted over the past few weeks. Mod if you wish, you know I won't complain.
