AOS4 & Amigaone

[wonea]

Hello,

I've been looking at AOS4 and I want it.  Feed up with my slow Mac.  Is it going to be released this christmas?  If so, I need a cheap AmigaONE.  >£600 is WAY too much for a casual layman.


Regards

I've seen some pegasos's going cheap.  Would these be able to run AOS4, or am I chancing death?  MOS looks okay, but checking out morphos.net makes me think its not worth bothering.  Plus I remember an interview with Carl Sassenrath about him not getting paid, plus someone from either FreeBSD or OpenBSD not getting paid.  Should I be giving money to a company like this?

Amiga Inc don't seem trust worthy either, but Hyperion seem committed though I'd like to see more web presence.

Why exactly is the AmigaONE twice the price of a more powerful Pegasos?  Who can afford those prices?  I want an AmigaONE.

Thanks for the info.  I have an obvious question.  Which one will you go for, if any?

AOS4 or MorphOS?

You guys don't make it easy for me!

The points I've seen are;

MorphOS looks great
Available hardware, at a price which I will buy

AmigaOS4 is the official way which I like, looks interesting.
AmigaONE is ridicously expensive, new boards will be out when AOS4 arrives if ever?  Been waiting for over a year!

AROS has a great philosophy, but highly doubt it will be finished for a couple of years
