X1000 looking good on paper?

why introduce facts when inuendo, and leaving it unanswered, will spread rumours like wildfire.

Because it's believable after the photoshop disaster?

Or at least it might have been until the real systems were shown at the VCF.

I think your going off half cocked on this one.   FWIR, no one on this thread has said there are no A1X1K's mobos.  We all have see and heard the reviews from Trevor's public showing,  we know there is a real mobo that work, at least to some degree.  Issue with the photo put into a computer case is reasonable and just.  It was poor judgement, it cheapens the A1X1K into nearly joke status.  If anything, you should be taking issue with whomever put this on display and not us here on AO who are commenting on it.  

So after the disaster of a Photoshop'd A1X1K mobo in a case, it's highly believable that someone, perhaps from Hyperion, would have put this display together.

Your posts often make you look as delusional as our friend Thierry.

Your getting defensive and reading way too much in to this.  But if that is what floats your boat, enjoy!

Whoever made the card mock up isn't the making unqualified comments here or veering off into realms of fantasy, I'm sure it was slightly amusing for show attendees.

I doubt that someone did it as a gag, looks like too much effort went into it.

Like I said it might have been for a short period of time, but not now.  The joke came a little too late.

I seriously doubt anyone that would be making a joke about it would go to that much trouble.  There are already too much to joke about it let alone making a prop for S&Gs.

Weren't you the one saying earlier this year that Hyperion were going to branch OS4 and the X1000 would run a 64-bit version that would be incompatible with the existing OS4.

I was indeed sadly incorrect after reading Hyperion's release statements which they were trumpeting it was a 64 bit CPU.  That would have been the best thing possible for OS4 to go 64 bit and make a hard break from 3.1 API so they could use SMP on a 64bit dual core machine.  That might have made OS4 into something that even I would have looked at possibly using as primary OS.  Instead, we get a port of something old that will be AMP at best.  What a shame.

Aren't you the one currently trying to invent some sort animosity between OS4 users/fans and Natami.

Shame on me for pointing out that Natami project, if they able to release a product before or around the same time A1X1K's release will be a competitor for scarce Amiga buyer's money.  I've heard some estimates Natami will be price in the same level as the A1X1K.  If it's cheaper, so much the better for most of us but that will make it a even bigger competitor to the A1X1K's market.   Natami is not good news for A-EON/Hyperion's marketing plans.  Given cheap Macs, cheap Imicas, cheap ARESOne, Minimig, plus C= Amigas and Natami to be released, it's alot of choices which doesn't mean good times ahead for the most expensive option of the bunch.  I can't help to think it's going to polarize the fragmented Amiga community even more.  If it bothers you I'm voicing my opinion, so sad for you.
