Amiga Acknowledges T-shirts Shipping

What is the status on the $50 coupons now that the T-shirts are being delivered?  And the $100 from the DE special?

So this means trying to attract some geeks, tinkerers, and hobbyist developers. I think Amiga/MorphOS is equally placed to do as well here as the Mac Mini, what we need is presence in the computing press, articles on Slashdot, OSNews etc... we need to be in the places where the geeks are and make them notice these new platforms of ours. It needn't be expensive, we really need to just make some news.

I don't see it.  If the Geek wants to spend a load of cash, he's going to be doing it on his "Beast" system, not some exotic (and under powered) mobo/cpu.  Afterall, he needs the cpu/gfx brute strength for WoW/EQ2/DAoC.  That leaves us with business niche market, and we know which path they tend to take.

Remember AmigaOSXL/Amithlon? It was quickly pirated, do u want the same thing to happen to OS4?

Amount of piracy means nothing, it's the amount of paying customers that means a successful business.  M$ used piracy to gain world domination of the computer market and now they are trying to collect as much $ as they can before the next big change (which will be Linux) ends thier dominance.  Umilator did not die becaue of threats of piracy, it was someone's brain dead threats against it.
