Anyone know if Moana is going to be available any time soon?  I'd be pissed if I bought uncle SAM and then found out I coud use an old PPC Mac mini with twice the power at half the price...

Part of the price comparison issue is that most of us are old timers, we remember when Amiga was state of the art.  When Amiga defined personal computing.  Those days are gone forever, once we accept that and take the Amiga for what it is now, a hobbyist and collectors machine, we can better appreciate the price.

If your waiting for a state of the art machine that does video and graphical processing faster and better than what's out there for less money, you are going to be disappointed, but if you are looking for a machine that you can relive the head days of '80's computing, where you get to understand the processes you are doing rather than just let the computer do them for you, where you are running on bailing wire, a wing and a prayer.  They you understand the Amiga and will appreciate OS4.

Amiga, the coelacanth of computers!
