They have an OS that will run on equipment that has the power of a mobile phone and they don't let it run on desktop level equipment!  Heck you can get a far more powerful Mac Mini G4 with hard drive and case for a couple hundred US dollars.  This is not collectors stuff like old Amiga  hardware, it's just a low spec board built this year.

Amigas in the late '80s, early '90s were state of the art, big buck for current technology is fine.  But let's face it Sam would barely make state of the art 10 years ago...

Well they were cheaper here (equiv. 600$ US in 1989 (no 2nd floppy) IIRC), but then maybe the avg. income was less here. New computers in general have been expensive until 2005, I´d say.
