I'm not Trevor, but anyway:
>1) Apparently you and your company (A-EON), invested a substantial monetary investment in the X1000. My question is why?
I believe it's because Trevor likes AmigaOS and wanted to see the most modern PPC Amiga possible.
(a few years ago PA6T was best, next year Freescale T series will be the king of PPC)
>but costs over 3 times the price
Just remember that original estimated price would only have been 50% of what it ended up to.
I agree we need affordable HW.
>2) We've had rumors for over a year now for a "cost-effective" netbook for OS4. While I am aware that you are not directly related to this, it's done nothing, but cause an even bigger rift in a dwindling market.
Some people had too big hopes? Most likely.
It could have been anoounced more carefully.
"we are working on to get AOS to run on a existing PPC netbook. Realease date is not known. perhaps in 2012."
Other than that... Yes, it's a shame that not all projects happen as planned.
>3) A-Eon is stating that Warp3D drivers will (hopefully) be available before the end of the year. .... Don't make promises you can't keep! When the Radeon 3D drivers are completed, *THEN* tell us about it.
Community is just too hungry for the info. Also I prefer to see at least some info.
>4) A-Eon has funded development of Libre Office. Once again, my question is why?
We (the community, new customers) need native office tools.
>That money would have been better spent porting WINE to AOS4,
Wine is not possible option. At least not before AOS4 runs on x86 or we have some 5Ghz PPC on Amigas.
>5) Finally, and I mean this with the utmost respect, but GET YOURSELF A PUBLIC RELATIONS LIASON!!!!!!
Who would be that person?
The person could apply a work from hyperion or a-eon.
(not much is paid, a lot of sh*t will be coming, etc...)
>How can you expect people to want to purchase your product, when basic, every-day use isn't even provided by the OS, itself?)
Money talks. If someone have millions to put in AOS4 SW development, please go ahead.
>We, the Community, are your *ONLY* source of income, but it seems that you just don't want our money. You don't want us to use your products. You don't want our (ridiculously) zealous support.

>Feel free to PM me, if you'd like assistance in your public image and relations. You need it.
You can also post your offer to Trevor & co PM.
