>AMIGADE RUNS ON EVERY OS AND MACHINE EXCEPT
>ON A REAL AMIGA (AKA AMIGA CLASSIC) !!!!!!!!

Hello anonymous hysterical person,

Just so you know, it also doesn't run on Macs yet, and while we Amiga users comprise less than half a percentage point in the computer market, Mac users comprise 6%.

What does this mean?  It means calm down, take a deep breath, and relax.  Or run to your panic room.  DE will come when it comes, and there's nothing we Amigans can do about it but wait patiently.

And look at it this way: By the time we get DE on our Amigas, it'll be a mature, fully-functional OS with a few extra bells and whistles.

Just so you know, we're "lightly" considering forming a company to take AmigaOne boards and pop 1 Ghz G3's / G4's on them. Then we'd take'm, test'm and sell them personally configured for each customer in a Dell-type fashion. Any interest?

Hey Wayne,

Alright, you caught my attention.  If an A1 board can be fitted with a 1 GHz+ G4 PPC chip, and work, then I'd be interested.  Although I would take any G4 PPC processor that is equal to or faster than 700 MHz.

But a 1 GHz AmigaOne  from the start would be an excellent way to restart the Amiga market.  I'm sure it would impress many nay-sayers out there as well.  And it might even force Eyetech's hand into bypassing the 700 MHz G4 and going directly to the GHz as well.

From 68060/50 MHz to G4 1 GHz in one fell swoop.  I like the sound of that.

Just say 'when', Wayne, just say 'when'.

P.S. Right about now, I wish a drooling smiley existed.

Were you thinking about overclocking an existing CPU to get your 1 Ghz?

Hi Anonymous Person,

I doubt Wayne would sell A1s with overclocked processors.  The 1 GHz G4 exists.  Check out the new PowerMacs as proof.  If Apple can do it without overclocking, so can Wayne.  It would just cost a bit more for the standard 1 GHz processor than it would for an overclocked 800 MHz processor.  Especially with Apple hogging the chip.

Although you do bring forth a valid discussion point.  I wonder what the overclocking limits on Eyetech's current batch of A1s will be.
