the big picture about ainc.

I thinking about the situation of the battle between ainc and Hyperion. First of all why act ainc in the recent week like a real company? (selling names, renew the website, planning new hardware, etc) In the last 5-6 years they do nothing, so why now? At the second glance the new "amiga" hardware is an all in one miracle for us. SATA, DDR2 memory etc. Exept the graphics card, but i think in the big brainstorming they just simply don't know pci-ex(press) and simple pci card are different ones. So they wrote pci gfx card.
I think all of this is about the lawsuit. They want to become the nice guy in the eyes of the court. (The firts question of the judge will be to ainc, what does your company do? )
So i think there will be no new hardware from ainc, I don't expect from any.

When last year i bought an 1200 with ppc i told myself that i never will be buy a "modern" amiga, because it is simply no reason to buy. No software no support, and finally it does not help in business. In the meantime i got the fever and want to own one. When sam+os4 appeared, i think it will be only month to do that, but now one day to another i think i will turn away this system once and forever. I will wait only for the appearence of os4 to classic machines. :cry:

@floyd: Ok, you're right, but that will be very stupid board. And to find a good new pci card is an impossible mission for most of us i think.

@koaftder: I mentioned new pci card not used. And try to imagine the happy family which is buying the first computer of the little children.(yeah amiga x) Everything is look promising, but when the husband ask about the vga card the answer is: oh that is a light years ahead revolutionary pci card and tested for a million times before, just for you. It is witout box, because for the better price. And why looks so dirty? It is not , it is a factory feature.
