AmigaOne 500

Oh come on, why is everyone so negative? Sure, its not the best looking case, but it is not *that* bad! Just be thankful we are getting new hardware and software, its 2011 and still people are developing stuff. The least we can do is show some respect. If all you want is a pretty case, go to Apple!

Funny you should mention, because you know what? I got a quad-core 2.5GHz Power Mac G5 (PPC 970,e

So its in a pretty case AND its faster AND it has a modern operating system. You think I didnt know that? Again, if that is really all you want, I dont understand what you do on an Amiga forum. You and I know Amiga offers a lot more in other fields.
 
Besides all that, if you dont think its worth the money, just dont buy one! No-one is forcing you to buy this machine. Hey, Im not going to buy one..
 
Still Im saying we should be glad for OS4 and glad for people having the courage to sell new hardware / cases. Its not easy in a market like this, where everyone seems to have his own opinion on things. For me that explains the price tag.

Well, then this machine clearly is not meant for you (or me, for that matter). That is fine. I just couldnt bear seeing a complete page of comments slagging something off that IMO should have deserved a much warmer welcome.

As for your first question, like I said, seems we all have a different opinion on this. For me, and for various reasons, a true Amiga is the one displayed in my sig, although I applaud all (hardware-wise) efforts and I really like OS4.

Welcome to amiga.org.

Nah. Just the state of the Amiga 'scene' in 2011, I guess. Then again, I see myself as a true supporter, but Im not buying any new hardware myself. Might be even worse, dunno.
