@TheDaddy

To me the only real Amiga is my Amiga 500. It has the original chip set and original code in, done by original Amiga engineers.

Is the proposed price point of the ones Commodore USA were planning to build the actual problem, which was effectively maybe 4x the cost of the x86 components.

Put it this way, would you buy a reasonably priced A1200 look alike computer running on an i7 or an i5/Llano based A600 look alike computer?

And if this is something some people would consider what is a reasonable price point do you think for this sort of thing

I'm not saying it's good or bad I am asking if you took away the excessive price tags for the proposed Amiga/c64x i7 machines would they then become something you would consider, even as a novelty, to get your WinUAE kicks on for example?


Btw while I like my Morphed Macs I don't really understand why x86 is more wrong than PPC, MIPS, Alpha, or any other platform?
