Where to try Amiga OS in 2009?

That pisses me off too, mate.

Despite of the fact that I want it already, some people might wish to try it.  Cuz a sam440 bundle costs lots of money.

I got decided when I SAW it live on local fairs.  I would go for it anyway I think.  But for sure, there are many people thinking, especially facing the price (say, many people on the east have to multiply the price by the factor of 2-5...)

So Hyperion should really consider it, especially about their situation.  

On the other hand if you're an Amiga guy, you should afford.  But for many people, Macs are expensive, iPhones are expensive, HTC/Eseries etc. So really, why this policy??

You can always go torrent but this is not the way out, is it?

Me stupid.  One has to have a hardware to test it on.  But there are many people with machines capable of running AmigaOS4, not having the OS installed.

So it concerns smaller userbase actually, still being some sort of a problem.
