Golly, Eyetech's A1 is beginning to sound a bit like the BoXeR fiasco...

I feel really bad for those who've pre-ordered and waited for months.

Is it worth the wait?  Is it really?  This is something you can live with?  Even if you get it today, the best you'll do is UAE--and, trust me, you can do better.

Amithlon is better and cheaper, even at H&P's $250 price-tag.  MorphOS is better, and cheaper.  In fact, the A1 is the worst possible choice you can make.  People can compare the G3 to the G4 all day long, but it still doesn't cure the fact that the A1 cannot run Amiga applications as fast as my 040 A1200--because it's stuck with the oldest, least updated, and slowest version of UAE possible.

You are only hurting yourself by doing this, as you will soon discover.  

A bit more about me, just FYI:  I bought Amithlon when it came out, both os3.5 and 3.9, elbox's mediator for my a1200, AmigaForever, and now a pegasos.  Because these products have a proven amiga track record.  A1 is like the BoXeR though, a pipe dream--with leaks.

The great thing is we could argue until we are all blue in the face, but it won't solve a single issue.

So, here's what I suggest.  Pack up some luggage, and take a trip to a local show/convention where both systems/OS-es will be on display. In the U.S., that will be AmiWest.  

Why speculate, when you can see it for yourselves?
