First Contact : AmigaOne X1000 Limited Edition

Why? The whole thing has been a disaster in the making and some of the main people involved are just short of criminal.

I think you should explain that remark or retract it. He may have been coy about the expected cost originally but I don't see what Trevor has done that could be construed as "just short of criminal". There was never any suggestion (correct me if I am wrong) that it was going to be cheap.

I said some of the people, not Trevor specifically...

Well, Trevor is the person that springs most immediately to mind when you say "main people at A-Eon". Perhaps it's just me that thinks that.

Actual price: £1915.01 ($USD 3,012.69)  (before shipping or VAT)

So it did indeed break the 3k mark...

I don't think that was ever really in any doubt, was it? I can remember seeing an old (well, when it was first demoed) video clip where Trevor, when pressed, said the price would "probably be north of 1700 quid".

[Karlos]

He said "north of 1500 quid" at The Vintage Computing Festival 2010.

Right, I knew it was something like that. Can't remember where I got 1700 from. Probably one of the many postings about the subject.

He wasn't wrong though, was he?
