Well, technically they'll start at only $5000.

When I read that link I really was shocked! There are companies that buy computers at that price point, and if that's CUSA's target market then they should examine the reasons why companies buy those computers. It's not because of feelings of nostalgia.

The difference will be that the A1 won't be obsolete, the C=USA machines will be, because while we're still running our own software on our own OS, the C=USA machine will have to keep up with other Linux/Windows systems. In 5 years, the A1 will still be high-end to us Amiga users, and any x86 box will be considered ancient.
For proof of that you just need to look at the prices of OS4 hardware compared to the equivalent age x86 boxes.


Jeez...only in OS4 land is ineffectiveness and obsolescence considered a plus.
