I'll admit its the most advanced "Amiga" to date, but man, $2800 is a bit much to spend on a system that will only run OS4.1 when you can get a very nice MorphOS system and a licence on a G5 for a fraction of that.

I wish I had money to burn though, I bet these are some fantastic machines.

So let me get this right, the hardware isnt even supported fully by the shipping version of OS4.1 it comes with? I take it back, this is a foolish item to put your money into. At least the hardware in the G5 works with MorphOS and is getting better all the time. WOW. Thats a real shame.

Why the heck doesnt the OS4 team get some support out for the Macs like the MOS team is doing? At least you would sell more licenses and fund more development. Selling 1000 licenses for a $200 mac would bring in a hell of a lot of money over selling a board in a standard PC case that will only run OS4 and sell to a few few number of people.

I dont want to start any kind of flame war here, but I just dont see how you can sell hardware thats not even supported by the OS it was supposedly built for at this price point.
