Oh and yes I don't see the need to pay the extra "middle-man" just because of that licence.


Here we go again.. sigh..

If Hyperion manages to port OS4 to some Macs, why shouldn't I be able to buy the HW in the next Apple-shop, and the OS (+dongle) somewhere else ?


Who's going to provide support? Hyperion are not a hardware vendor. I'm not against this idea, i just don't see how it's feasible at least at this stage.

Why do I need to pay "Seehund GmbH" just for putting a boing-ball-sticker


Why even bother getting the Mac? Yeah Mac has much higher end CPU models available, but at a price. Once the A1XE is shipping it should work out to the same.

Who is providing support for a "hacked and enhanced" Classic-Amiga ?


'hacked' well if hacks are done, then nobody. The original computers themselves are so old, obviously nobody. As for 'Enhanced' parts added, the company making those parts should be responsible for support. Obviously quality of support varries widly in the Amiga market, with most support being horrendeous. Isn't this what we want to get away from?

Who is providing support for Windows on a built-from-parts x86 ?


The hardware compent vendors AND somewhat M$ themselves. M$ can afford to support a billion different components because they are a multi-trillion $$ company.

The answer is noone !! But that only natural when I buy unsupported HW.


You know as well as I do if Hyperion went out of their way to support Mac hardware people would expect support from Hyperion.

The rest


baah, mostly speculation. As for DDR in current Macs, it's a waste.

But you can bet your a**** on the fact that Apple will always be two steps ahead of MAItech.


People thought Intel would always be performance king, now AMD is continually thrashing them. People though 3DFX would always be king, then NVIDIA toppled that. Now people NVIDIA can't be surpased, yet ATI has just proved that wrong. Don't bank on things so quick.
