Hyperion have actually worked on this for years, Amiga Inc. havent done anything for years (except this last months circus).


Hyperion got paid, as far as i understand. 25.000 usd or so. So whats the problem.. they did their part, now AI does theirs.

An insult to who? Not everyone can afford a $1000+ USD machine.  This is the LOW END MACHINE...that will have low power requirements, probably can run totally fanless, etc.


Exactly! Not everyone can afford to put $500 into a mobo  which doesnt let you do most of the stuff needed daily, and requires components which cant be even bought at your local store anymore. But all this is irrelevant as we all know the era stopped here and it wont be continuing.

@HammerD

Dr.Bombcrater explained pretty nicely in two posts how I feel, I agree 100% to what he said.

I know OS4 is light, and runs happily even on a 200mhz cpu.. but thats not the point. You want to also use some software.

And the "high-end" machine will most probably be just as underspecced as this compared to .. well.. any mobo today. My guess is that my trusty half-decade old 1.8ghz mobo+cpu will beat the {bleep} out of this "high-end" product of theirs ;-)

But you are right, I do not know what they will present, so lets wait. I will gladly change my opinion if it comes to that.
