Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

I think most people don't care about their computing platform, so long as they can surf the next, type up a few letters and sync to their iPod... Blandness and/or boredom aren't an issue,,

All of the non-techie/dweebies I know think of their PCs as nothing more than a tool - in the same way as their DVD player, fridge and microwave... They aren't interested in the OS, the hardware or anything, as long as it works when they turn it on...

It's only really people who are interested in the underlying technology who's interest will be piqued by the X1000...

I'm very much a techie, and I consider a Windows PC to be just a tool :-) I need it every day for some stuff, but would gladly do without it. Amiga OTOH I actually enjoy using so that's the difference for me...

Perhaps I am jumping for bait here, but I don't see how MorphOS supporting G5s will change the X1000's value for money. MorphOS running on G5s doesn't mean OS4 will run on the same machine, and so the X1000 is still the only way to run OS4 on "high end" hardware. There are plenty of people who don't think it's worth the money anyway, and maybe the MorphOS solution is an option for them. There are also those who want to run OS4 on the fastest possible hardware, and for them the situation won't change either...
