Hi iamaboringperson,
And so few to absorb the R&D. Customers ultimately cover that too.
In 1989 I paid $2000 dollars for an A2000 with 1 meg. chip ram, No hard drive (remember how much extra Amiga HD controller cards were than x86s?) I paid $500 more to get a 1084 monitor. (The 1084S would have cost another $50.) +6% tax.
500UKP = $1130
The priciest x86 boards are $300 (not talking Itanium boards, or dual cpu.)
Plus some import duties to Canada.
Premium = $800+. Expensive, but I have paid more in the past.
Before the Imacs, to get involved with rock bottom Macs it was $3000+. What's that now, only about 3 years ago??
AmigaOne! I've tried some of the competitors, and none come close.
P.S. Canadian dollars.
