You thought the X1000 was overpriced?

I don't know whats scarier about this who thing. The fact that Barry himself believes that he can just enter the high-end market without so much as an introduction. But that he has other people on that forum thinking it's a great idea selling these things. I want to know who came up with the research saying that he was entering a niche market.

I also want to know who came up the phrase "prosumer" because I want to kick them in the testicles for that one.

I can't work out why Dammy is trying to compare 80's money with todays money on the low-end systems. Isn't the whole point of the low-end Amiga's that they provided a good entry point into the Amiga's. And that they were also affordable to the masses.

I mentioned this whole new Amiga pricing thing to a friend of mine in our hospitals IT department. He nearly dropped to the floor laughing. His exact words were "Even at two thousand dollars it best wash the dishes and service me in that way." Needless to say I doubts that we will be getting any of these things.

It's interesting to note that most of the articles that you see floating around the net about CUSA tend to be the same ones. Just masses of bots and people cutting and pasting into personal blogs and sites. I can imagine the new Amiga range will see the same: which will make Barry think it's a roaring success.

BIG HINT!!

$25K desktop system

Sounds like your gonna give us something that Dell, Apple, HP and all the others have been giving us for years. Saying desktop makes it sound like we are not gonna see anything server related.

Why not show us some pictures, renders, pre-production stuff of the new Amiga's then. After all you were ramming them down our throats when the C64x and VIC's were been released. Let us judge for ourselves on whether these systems are worth it.

And there is only Disney and Motorola that are instantly recognisable out of that list. Also the link fails.

Dammy I suppose you talking about NewTek then.

Unless he is going for the "well they were once closely tied with Commodore Amiga's. So now I have the Amiga brand they are now closely tied with me." *insert barry grin*

Meh I dunno. I am starting to think this is all a diversion tactic and really he has his sights set on the Spectrum name. Make us all think he has the Amiga's in production then WHAM! Welcome Commodore ZXX Spectrum.

Remember the extra X means extra money.
