Aren't you the one currently trying to invent some sort animosity between OS4 users/fans and Natami.


Aren´t we the ones feeding the trolls by even commenting on lame attempts of ridicule like this whole thread?

Perhaps you'd like to explain this curious optical illusion that was photographed in Switzerland in September then

That´s a nice photo. Weren´t the A-EON Boing balls the ones with less squares? Is it fan-art?

how unprofessional they were by marketing a product with a photoshopped image

Unprofessional? Every big company uses exclusively photoshopped images for advertising. Woppers on the pictures are made from plastic.

Your reality check just bounced. ;)

But whats more interesting: Are there more pictures from that event in Switzerland? Is this the machine of a beta tester, or was A-EON present?

EDIT: Oh, I see it already was mentioned: on Amiga.org

When I was looking through the pictures of µAlchemie 2010 yesterday, I noticed that it looks like the "good on paper" mockup Piru posted an image of and the Relec box with the (sticker?) Boing Ball at the front are the same box.

It looks like Relec created it (much like cell phone mokups that are designed for shop windows) just as a dummy that could sit in the corner and remind of the upcoming new hardware. I imagine they turned on the neon and kept the box closed, so it may have had a somewhat ominous look, if you went past it in half darkness. And if you peeked through the airvents you might spy the words A-EON or Xena on the photographed Mobo.

Mystery solved?

Oh and here are two pictures from different perspectives that show that the mobo-picture is mounted into that same box during the french event:
upfront
open from the side
