Do you want the AmigaOne X1000 project to fail?

[dammy]

.  It's very hard to argue against the commodity hardware (old PPC mac's, AROS boxes)  aspect when it is a $2500 (x1000/OS 4) vs. a $200 (Mac/MorphOS) situation.

I wouldn't be shocked by the time all the parts are added up and AmiKit's cut, that the final retail price (hardware, OS and shipping) will be around $3000 USD or a bit higher.

wish the X1000 the best, but it's sort of a "best of luck, but at that price, you're gonna need more than just luck" deal, lol.

Just my 2 bits, anyways.  Everyone here can probably universally agree that the pricepoint of the X1000 is a huge stumbling block in regards to how it will be accepted.

That is why it's not a real competitor to SAMs. It's either you can afford one or you can't, end of story.

Well I'm not hoping it will fail, but it will fail if it's price is too high.
Amiga's are just a hobby for the most of us and over 1500 euro's for a machine that is just going to run OS4.1 is a bit of price tag for a hobby machine.
 
Yeah maybe sell my Cyberstorm and Cybervision, I would be 2/3 there I guess

It's "North of 1,500 GBP" and not in EUROs.

So we want a 2000 dollar "hobby system" or do we want a system worthy of establishing itself as a new mainstream OS and taking out Windows on the desktop?

Worse then $2000 USD.  Going by what Trevor said, "North of 1500 GBP" that means at 1,500 GBP = $2389 USD with today's rates.  If it's close to 1,900 GBP would hit over $3,000 USD which maybe realistic once you adding in shipping fees (and whatever import fees) to the USA since North American customers won't have to pay England's VAT (20%?).

These 15 votes that they want that AmigaONE X1000 project to fail, show us there are Amiga users that they are bad people, and well, I don't think that people are, but perhaps the same people that want new Pegasos?

Lets not play the demonization hand of those who voted against your wishes.  Perhaps it's time for you to open a dialog on why they view things in such a manner instead of attempting to censor their POV by demonizing them?

And no, I did not vote as I did not see a pancakes option!

Wowsers....:eek:

Randy, Randy, dear dear Randy... that's a bit rich coming from someone who agrees with CUSA that because some folks points of view on FaceBook doesn't match CUSAs viewpoint it's fine to censor those folk by deleting their POVs without any decency to respond to them... :rolleyes:

Franko, or who ever you really are, C=USA just wants to get their message out about their product they are selling.  It's not up there for being slagged on by OS4 user(s).  I do say it's a classic move that a OS4 user(s) gets C=USA to drop it's comment section by slagging them on their own page.  If you want to go and voice your negative posts, commodore-amiga.org is more acceptable media since there is staff to monitor the postings of drama queens.

and who likes to go about airing totally absurd reasons why he doesn't think someone has only been on the internet since last June, kinda one rule for you and different rules for everyone else... eh...

I just prefer people being honest is all.

I dont' try to demonize to nobody, only that there are people what not want that the other option we have new hardware, and I said Pegasos, because they are very radicals, from my own experience.

OMG, you just did it again.  I don't know why your picking on a out dated mobo owners when it could be just as likely to be NatAmi or AROS or even SAM supporters.
