Will there every be another computer like the amiga?

People call me or ask me for computer help all the time. My standard answer to most problems is "install linux."

If that's your answer to every computer problem it's a wonder anyone keeps calling you.  I can lock down a Windows machine in five minutes, spend five more minutes educating the user, and that's the end of it.  That locked down machine will be just as usable to the customer as it was when I started, so no, it doesn't involve deleting their user account

No they are not.  They are giving pretty much top possible PPC solution which will be about upper end netbook if the ARM dual cores come out at the same time.  Problem for A-EON, there isn't much further to go on the PPC road after this.  

Of course the high end netbook with dual core ARM is going to be far cheaper then the X1000.

Is AROS targeted to dual core ARM notebooks?  Heck you guys run on everything else, I say go for it (if you're not already).

ARM yes (Dr. Schulz is working on that project on a EFIKA-MX netbook), but AROS is stuck with the 3.1 API so I highly doubt you will see AROS ever being a full SMP OS on any system.

Can you sandbox your 3.1 dependencies and break away in that direction?

No I generally do fix their problems, but I always suggest linux because its rock solid, harder to break and no spyware/malware/adware problems most of the time...

Well hey, at least you said harder to break and not impossible to break.
