By the 80/20 rule that's 4700.

I think it's dangerous and irresponsible for anyone to apply such a general rule here. Most Amigans are die-hards, or else we wouldn't still be here.  I think a 20/80 rule would be more realistic in the Amiga market.

I suppose I should admit I was wrong, but I think I was right, at the time I made my remarks, and things have changed since then  :-o

Anyway, the count doesn't mean a whole lot, except in general terms, I mean they got 1,000 they didn't get 100,000 but it wasn't 0 either.

I may buy an AmigaOne, though my upcoming marriage makes it look difficult this year...and the fact that you cannot buy an AmigaOne, makes it difficult too.

once the NDA will be expired, people will get the developers boards while other will get the consumer version


What will the difference be between the developer and the consumer boards?

Alan stated on the A1 mailing list that the remainder of the dev boards (or user boards) will not be released until the firmware was complete. so wont this mean the boards will be the same?

Am I just being over optemistic or does anybody else think they may have extended  the deadline to coincide with Amiwest as they may be ready to make an announcement there about OS4?

Could hyperion be closer to completion than we think?

Just a thought, feel free to shoot this one down

@Driod

I wouldn't get your hopes up! I started to think along those lines
too, but decided not to get too optimistic about it. OS4 I hope will
be released by the end of the year, although from what I am able to
work out in the forums, unlikely in the next few months.

Still, fingers crossed! :-D

I dunno about it having ended. Just checked the page and the count has risen to 966.
They're obviously still counting stragglers.

That's exactly what I'm planning for the time being.
