I would tend to agree with those who would say, that
you should evaluate the price and suitability of
software before making a purchasing decision.

DCE still lists the Blizzard PPC as a current product...
though perhaps a small number, why do we assume
that no one will purchase a BlizzPPC after the
release of OS 4...in other words, why not poll that
result too, instead of assuming?

I, for one, was able to get a complete set up for under
200 dollars, and even adding a blizzPPC, though
expensive, was still the cheapest route to OS 4,
and besides I wanted the classic set up to do some
stuff in classic mode.

I doubt I would be the only one....the release of OS 4
will cause people to get hardware that runs it,
if they can only afford a blizzard (which is still
the least expensive route for some)...they might
go that route.

@amigamad,
I think they always said they would finish it for AmigaONE before the Blizzard.  But if someone has a blizzard, and is waiting for OS 4, it would be nice to know if Hyperion is cancelling that plan.  For one,
that would be good new to eyetech, probably
a few of the Blizz owners would upgrade to an
AmigaONE.  It would also be a sad day as
a lot of people realize they will be priced out of OS 4,
and some will leave this market.

But its important to know, so people can make wise
purchasing decisions.

People who said MorphOS is the only solution for Blizzard owners, would have been shot down in flames for spreading FUD, everyone knew, before
yesterday, that Blizzard was an OS 4 target platform.

Now, everyone knows Hyperion never promised anything.

Amazing...anyway, its just about expectations.
If someone is making a purchasing decision,
like I did last week.  I chose a Towerized A1200
over a A4000 because I thought the A1200 could
support OS 4 through the blizzard, and maybe
10% chance through the sharkppc someday.

now...who knows...
