AmigaONE X1000 Free Shipping Offer

Actually I'd be very happy with a second hand Sam440/460. The price seems to be around the 300-600 euros for a nice setup.

Even an older AmigaOne Xe would be nice. Now that's a bargain, but would need to sell my A1200T before I could buy one, but that would be a hard thing to do.

if you are going to sell a truly genuine machine of sentimental value to get a computer that runs the same software under emulation plus can run some linux ports, then considering all aspects you might be better off with a pc.

i dont see why would anyone need an os4 system for the few games there is exclusively for it. almost everything ive heard of was either ported from or in few cases to other platform, and it will likely run better there. lets face it, buying os4 hardware is a form of charity. to be honest i dont see much reason to buy ppc hardware today, neither obscure nor popular, neither expensive nor cheap, neither old nor new, and therefore i cant seriously think even about morphos. still if i was forced to choose i wouldnt base it on a label, even if there actually was a proper label.

Reasons for AOS4 system;

-Prefered OS for the person using it. For some it might be all they actually need to  get by.
-Nostalgica.
-Enjoy tinkering with different OS's

Charity? I have bought games by OS4 developers that also released Wintel versions.
I actually enjoyed their games, so I wouldnt call it charity.

People spend xxxx dollars (or whatever currency) on hobbies like;

-Classic hardware
-Old cars
-stamps
etc etc etc

As long as its fun for a person, the practicality vs value ratio doesnt HAVE to "make sense".
Its a subjective quality.

no it doesnt need to make sense for anyone in private, but communicating it on a discussion forum one needs to align to some common sense, otherwise there is no need for any communication if one assumes to be a monade. personally ive spent my money on amiga as long as it was fun and useful to me, and i d still spend some limited amounts if it convinced me, still i dont get it why one would need to invest vast amounts into some amiga offshot that given the past experience is doomed to fail in every considerable aspect.

I never said so, I just said that Amiga hobby does not require big investments. You can make it expensive if you want to but it is not requirement.

Actually amiga hobby in fact isnt that expensive, even 060 boards are within limits imho. Its usually os4 that is an expensive hobby by definition, beginning with amiga ppc accelerators that were already completely overpriced as new, apparently being a trend setter for those who claim the heritage.
