I do partly agree with you, I would like to see the price point entry for AmigaOS4 hardware much lower, I'm just pointing out that you could try out OS4 and not worry to much about the huge investment because the second hand market for OS4 hardware you usually get a good return.
PS I dont want to come across as a OS4 fanboy as i see it we have a low cost entry to the next gen amiga and that is Aros, I really liking Aros, specially the last few version its getting nearly as good as AmigaOS4, I enjoy both so you really cant afford OS4, Aros is the way to go.
