The natami looks very close to completion.

Or at least, booting. I'm surprised, after months and years of hearing only small things, they've started posting a checklist which is getting done really fast. I have to wonder, will they have a working product for us to buy before or after the x1000? What do you think?

Many people have (justified) doubts about the NatAmi, and so do I, but personally I think that the NatAmi has better odds of actually being released at all than the "X1000", and it will definitely be a more interesting and creative little "geek gadget" compared to the "X1000". It will probably be something people can afford as well. I can easily see myself getting a NatAmi, but there is no way in this world I'll spend 1,500 EUR on an "X1000", no matter which of the two gets released first...

Well, I guess you should look at NatAmi for what it is - a geek toy for Amiga nerds, an enthusiast product, an *Amiga* that matches and goes far beyond the A1200/A4000. It's *not* something aiming to replace anyones PC setup, something aiming to "rule the world" or whatever. It's a fun and cool hobby machine. I can easily see myself buying it for those merits. If you aren't appealed to this, then you aren't! As simple as that!

The X1000 however, is little more than a standard PC, but with the burden of not being standard (hence it has an obscure CPU and costs a magnitude more). Not very exciting IMHO.
