I really dont understand this Anti-Amiga talk.

Cant people just support Amiga developers ?

Small companies have to grow before they can successfully build systems in large batches.

When the X1000 takes off we will increase the Amiga userbase by 1000-2000 !

Commodore made their own hardware, used their own parts and sold Amigas in 50,000 batches.

Commodore did not make Amiga from zero startup - they used the profit of millions of C64 sales and used its staff.

Commodore was founded in 1954.

C64 released in 1982 (28 years later)
Amiga 1000 released in 1985 (31 years later)

So A-eon have 31 years to create an Amiga equivelent to technological advances  made in 1985.

So 2041 is the year to look out for :-)

I wont buy MorphOS on dead end hardware. The Mac people would just laugh at me taking their scraps.

This parasitic route is not the way for me.
