Before I even go on I must say here that this post has nothing to do with pegasos. It's a nice piece of HW but even if i had the money i wouldn't buy it. This settled...
Alan's speech at woase: he was talking about how the whole deal couldn't have been made between him and fleecy if there were more licensees. About how the end cost would actually rise etc... Go listen to it. Now I don't really blame eyetech for this it's a small market afterall but if there's one thing that really brings prices down it's competition and not bussines' goodwill. It worked for PCs, don't see why it wouldn't work here.
I mean this was weird from beginning actually. Amiga Inc. says 'We'll do software alone' but immidiately gives eyetech the license for the name Amiga (amigaone)? I thought we would have no 'amigas' anymore? Afterall OS is all that's left of amiga now. Now we also have basically identical boards out there with the exception of 'amigaone' being more expensive and it's twin teron not running amigaos although it could. Market lost IMO.
Flame away if you wish, happy new year!
