Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

[gaula92]

@magnetic: This whole C64x thing is pure shit: putting an "el-cheapo" PC inside a lame C64 case imitation is deceiving retarded people whose lifes are comsumed by work and don't have the time to check the true C64 and AMIGA revival projects souch as the Minimig, FPGA ARCADE or MCC-216.
So make yourself a favor and stop bashing Franko, who's a passionate Amiga user who has done much more than you for the Amiga divulgation with his page: you're being ridiculous in defending the idiots behind a sad, stupid product with NOTHING in common with the authentic alernative tecnologies C64 and AMIGA represented and still represent. You're so ridiculous I was with some friends reading it an we were laughting at your pathetic defense of souch a pathetic product, asking ourselves who's paiying you to do so

Oh, he's a successful businessman? Well slap me silly! Clearly that makes him completely above any form of criticism for any of his actions or plans!

Well, to reconnect to the topic of this thread - I think Barry shows a far better business sense than the people behind the X1000. He starts with identifying a potential market need, and creates a product specified to meet that need. The people behind the X1000 on the other hand starts with a product that nobody really needs, and will end up searching in vain for a market. Nothing bad in that, not at all; my point was merely that they have two different point of views - the former has a *business* point of view and is here to make money based on some mass market, the latter clearly has a *hobby* point of view and is here to create something they themselves thinks is cool, sell a few hundred units of it, and are happy if it will make ends meet in the end.

It's PC bling, nothing more.

Maybe, but how is that *bad*?

The need for "Bling" (depending how you define it) is a major source of commerce in most industries targeted to the developed world...

Somehow I doubt it.

As to the CPUs, A-eon and Varisys secured them when PA Semi put out a request for final orders.
Its no great mystery. PA Semi was shutting down production and didn't want new customers (that might depend on an item that was eol).

I don't get the who NDA bit about the PA6T.

I suppose it's all part of marketing, if Steve Jobs can get a standing ovation for a (HDMI) cable maybe a retro style plastic case deserves some attention...

Given the state of the world it's hard to hold righteous indignation over a lump of plastic.  In the end he may or may not make a few bucks, he won't change the world, but 99.99999% of us won't change the world either.  If not changing the world is a crime then everyone here is probably guilty too...

Hey franko, you use this guy "Barry"'s name all the time. You  have never met this man and know nothing about him, yet you make all kinds of assanine statements. its quit embarassing for yourself so you should stop while you are ahead. Your fetish pal "Barry" has done more with his commodore business project than you have ever done or will do so you should really refrain on commenting on the man's business plans.

additionally, do you really think that this Barry gives the slightest care of what some nutjob like you thinks?

Thought I'd waste some of me time here and give you a wee bit of attention you so desperately crave from me...

Erm... re-read you're absurd (as usual) statement again, rub your two brain cells together to try and get them working a wee bit (fat chance) and then if you manage to get some neurons firing consider this in regard to what you just said...

You have used my name more times than the entire worlds population (including all those that are dead) has in just about every post you've ever written here since I came along and ahem to quote yourself "You  have never met this man and know nothing about him"...

Now can you see why I ignore you so much... if not here's a little clue...

YOU  ARE  AS  THICK  AS  S%!&E...

[dammy]

Why do you have to personally insult people?

[Franko]

Why do you have to personally insult people?

It's not an insult it's a statement of FACT... you dunderheid...

YOU  TOO  ARE  AS  THICK  AS  S£!&E...

Moo has a different TOS then AO.  You sure can dish it out, pity you can't take it when it's dished back at you.

[Franko]

Feel free to insult me here too Dammy just like you do elsewhere, to say I can't take it is more BS as usual on your behalf...

Tell you what your on Skype and so am I, how about a nice wee cosy chat and we'll see who can't take what...

[number6]

oh dear...

Because moobunny has a different TOS that allows for bad behavior, that's reason to pursue bad behavior there as a goal...

ouch. Methinks even some moo regulars will object to that connotation.

What the hell is this "Eurotrash" you keep banging on about?  As a European, I'm interested to know whether you mean all Europeans are trash?
