Well, this makes me happy - OS4 actually selling.  Hope you-know-who sees this.

Pity there's no 68k version (my PPC is b0rked)
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

Oh yes I am sure they ordered in 100's of copies.  Small retailer, maybe 5 copies...10 at most.

Hardly an OS4 market!  :horse:

I guess it's nice that they're selling units, however I suspect that the number would be in the low hundreds, tops...

Hardly a thriving market, more like the (shrinking) pool of Amiga enthusiasts buying it...

Still, it's better to see this, instead of the usual: "The release has been delayed until Q4 2xxx"!

Although "delivered" means passed to the delivery service. Should be here by 3pm tomorrow, but I'll be at work, so either 1) I'll have to collect it from some depot in Landsend, or 2) they read the notice on my door and leave it in my garden shed :-).
Wow, I guess OS4 really will be here rsn. ;-)

Well that's a massive dissappointment.
Not in the 1st batch.
Not happy.
According to the email taking orders from Amigait, it was sent early hours Saturday morning.
Didn't get the email until late Sunday morning.
That has obviously cost me.
Will be at least another week until I get my hands on it.
Might have to change my ISP in protest now.

Sadly no, probably an eternal realist. How many working PPC cards are in the wild? How many of those aren't mothballed? How many owners who actually own and use PPC cards will want it opposed to free solutions like MorphOS? Low hundreds sound realistic. I've heard guesses of low 10s (maybe 20-50) worldwide. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS.That is probably too low, but 100-300 could be close.
