AmigaOne clones?

[MarkTime]

How much is Amiga charging in licensing per unit on AmigaOne boards, $50 dollars?

Amiga is trying to collect its revenues from hardware sales, because at $50 bucks a pop, or whatever the actual number works out too it is going to be hard to hide that fee in anything but a large purchase.

I think we all want to cut Amiga right out of that income stream without any regrets...that doesn't mean we want to pirate OS 4 or not allow Hyperion, or even Amiga, Inc. to profit from OS 4.

But burying a huge fee in the teron board, which they didn't develop and won't be developing, ever....I don't care for that, I'd rather buy a terrasoft board.  You can sell me os 4, if you want, in which case I'll buy it, if you won't sell it to me, don't fault me for not purchasing it.

I'm afraid you will have to wait for official updates. There are too many members of the MIF around here

oh please, your arguments are weak...the only response is, you don't have official knowledge.....that is no denial AT ALL.

I suppose you believe Amiga did not get $50 bucks from a coupon deal/club because Amiga is extinct and that is impossible....Oh they could never get 50 bucks off the Amiga name!

GONG!  WRONG, they did.

Another example, a terrasoft board in the US costs under 500, the AmigaOne nearly 600 at most dealers.

It doesn't take insider knowledge to know that REAL world you are paying close to a hundred dollars for that Amiga name.....it doesn't take any insider knowledge to know if you could run AOS 4 on a terrasoft board or a pegasos, you could save nearly $100 bucks in the US.  Or could you?  If they had to pay the same licensing fee's who knows...

You arguments are weak and make little sense.  Real world, there is a huge premium on the AmigaONE board that is impossible to deny.

Just saying that an individual has been denied access to the reasons for this huge premium, doesn't defend the situation at all.

there is a real world, undeniable real world premium on AmigaONE boards, and that is not FUD at all.

And if its not costs, then its greed, but regardless of the excuse it exists.

I say my guess is right on the money, they charge $50 bucks.

@Rogue

I asked a question, is the amount $50 bucks?
I made no claim to insider knowledge, nor do I need any to notice the premium in price for an AmigaONE over other teron boards.

You are free to find my comments offensive, however, my comments were polite and reflect my thinking, and speak to my purchasing decision.
And I will not be the only amigan who doesn't purchase an AmigaONE and not the only person who purchases a Terrasoft board.

And for those us making that decision, we have certainly cut out Amiga, Inc. from any revenue on our hardware purchase, which is entirely our decision to make, its a free market.

Finally, as I stated before, I will buy OS 4, if you are willing to sell it to me, but if you don't, then I can't buy it.

Thats not a call for piracy, its common sense.

Anyway, now I am just repeating myself, but let me say this, it is pretty low to announce this huge offense based on a small an innocent post of mine.  You just swoop in every once in a while, I actually have to live here, so be nice
