I'm not going to get into any kind of flame-war with anyone but I know for a fact if real hardware with an AmigaOS materializes I'm going to buy 1 or 2.  I know I've spent quite a bit of money on classic Amiga hardware and from converstaions I've seen on here and other places Amiga users have spent that much and more on classic Amiga hardware trying to get a machine like they want.  I also read in some of these same forums people spending quite a bit of money creating different types of Linux based PCs.  I just don't see the difference.

If I'm able to buy an Amiga computer they lets me run either new Amiga software and/or some classic Amiga software, I'm all over it.

All the other hype aside, Hyperion, the lawsuit, past experience with Amiga Inc., etc... wouldn't it be great to be able to buy a NEW Amiga computer running an Amiga Operating System and using Amiga software?  Sounds good to me!!!    :-D

I hope by sometime this summer many of us are talking about the ways we use our new Amiga computer.

Gee, I sure hope it's in a mini ITX form factor. And looks something like this...

I'd still like a 3.5" floppy drive in there.

Ha! I'm creating my own standards now! That's a disk from Men In Black! Guess you'll have to buy the White Album again...    :-P

Here's a read on PC Magazine!

Ahhh, just read that it will have a Flex-ATX form factor. Sort of this size. Still fairly small though.

Wow what great specs for 1997.  Oh wait it's 2007.  My older KDS laptop has better specs.  How about they try to hit the year 2000 in specs then i might think about parting with that money.  Comeon AInc with the costs of stuff so low now why cant you just give us something that is a bit more powerful.  Once again crap from them and hell we'll pay and not recieve it anyways so why not exaggerate the specs to make us feel better.

Why does everyone assume we need a 4GHz machine for Amiga OS 4?  Are we running Windows Vista here or Amiga OS 4.0 ???  This machine will be fine for AmigaOS 4!!!  So shut up!!  ;)

Right, but if it's anything like the other machines A-Inc has announced, it will either

A: Never exist, or be released, etc

B: Released late, seriously outdated and bug-ridden

Neither of those options sound very cool to me. Actually, I'm glad I just dumped the cash on a 2-meg Agnus for my A500... at least that's actually real (it exists now), and something I can have fun messing with.. :/

(Sorry if I sound like an ass, I just downed a few brews)

D:

I hear you, if A, Inc releases this machine I will crap my pants!!  hahah  I am more a Classic Amiga guy too, have lots of Amigas. :)

Those specs are fine for OS 4.0, no need for a 3GHz duo core or 4GHz P4 for it!

give me a break man.  First off they prob wont produce one and secondly with the cost of parts now days why do u want to settle for crap specs.  Sure Amiga OS doesnt need the power of Windows or such, but why not have it for future.  Besides more horsepower isnt just for the OS but how about future possible games.  The hardware isn't just for the OS you know, what those who like to do 3d animations and such that do require (or helps to have) that extra horsepower.  That's the problem right now is everyone will just SETTLE for what they can get because its something from Amiga.  I say bull on that.  Give us something worth the wait.

Because if I am going to pay a certain amount of money for a machine, I won't buy it unless its parts are worth the price they are asking for.
