"The whining about the benchmarks is hilarious. If I dumped over 3,000 bucks on this crap I probably wound't want to see it either."

You wouldn't want to know the truth?

Mac mini is apparently just as fast and I just saw 2 on ebay for 185.00$ buy it now.

Thats quite a difference in price for such similar hardware when the mac is just about the same speed...

Yeah its already a year and a half late. How long till the second core works in amiga os? I'd say never.

How long till the xmos thing works?

How long till the built in networking works?

Sound?

I can't help thinking its ludicrous to pay 3k for a machine thats missing drivers, using only one core, that performs about as good as a 6 year old mac mini.

Add to that the ridiculous NDA they want users to sign so you can't complain publicly when something does not work right.

While I applaud anyone who dreams a dream, the reality is this is just another big disappointment.

Power pc is dead dead dead. Nothing like this will change that anytime soon.

Why anyone would pay 3k for this I don't know, but I do wish them luck with it and I hope they think it was a worthwhile investment.
