Do you want the AmigaOne X1000 project to fail?

[klx300r]

senseless poll really because we already know who wishes bad karma on anything AmigaOS on this site so what's the point:confused:

[jj]

Whos that ?

[spihunter]

I voted no. I won't be buying it but I would like to see it sell well for folks that want a fast OS4 machine.

Just because some/ alot  of people are very vocal about how crazy the x1000 is and the price, and how they wont be buying it , does not mean they want someone with a visions and a dream and hardwork to fail.

Whos that ?

just look up some old threads that are AmigaOS4.x related and you'll very soon find out who;)..heck even very recent ones:afro:

fair enough mate:)...though some times the bashing says otherwise

[Franko]

Precisely. You'd have to be pretty mean-spirited to want someone's hard efforts to bring hardware to the market to be in vain.

I honestly don't think anyone here is "mean-spirited" enough to want any company to fail or their work to be in vain. I think it's just folks expressing their opinions on things and the way some of these companies go about promoting their products...

I bet many folk probably think I want CUSA to fail, but I've said it before I don't wish them any harm in their business venture, I just wish they would go about the naming of their products a bit better...

Heck my first post on their FaceBook page was this and I got ruddy well banned because of it...

I don't wish to see CUSAs demise I just wish they would make it clear to potential purchasers that these are nothing more than a PC running an emulator in a customised case. CUSA are using the brand names to lure folk into buying what they believe will be genuine original Commodore built machines which they are not (ie: they do not contain in any manner the original Amiga or C64 custom chip sets).

I voted no, and wish Trevor/AEON the best of luck with it.

I personally am not interested in it, as I have no desire to ever run OS4 again and the price/performance ratio is just stupid, if it was half the price i would consider it as a ppc Linux box but would probably buy a quad core G5 mac second hand.

[elpiloto]

i voted no, all the best to AEON

[yssing]

Voted No... I want at least one of them and a couple om SAM460

I don't get why anyone who attends an amiga forum would vote no or be so anti-amiga...

[TheGoose]

Ok, I'll be the total pessimist. The poll should have read, "Has the X1000 already failed?"

To which I might say, yes. Because I can not think of a more stubborn company that at all occasions chooses to avoid any obvious and easy routes to secure customers and sales of hardware or software.

They are on a vision quest. Not a business quest.

Besides, executing thoughtfully and becoming a success would really break with tradition. We wouldn't know what to do.

So very true, we are all caught in the the Deja vu of seeing Amiga rise and fall like the tide. Personally I voted No and wish Trev all the best and hope it does become a success. I think that freescales multi-core CPUs 64-bit dual core, 2.2 GHz P5020 and the 8-core, 1.5GHz P4080 would have been a better choice of PPC from the start IMHO, but it is his company. One Day I would love to see an ARM based Amiga

[Paulie85]

Although it would not be my preferred solution I wish it the best, as rarely do you see the terms "Amiga" and "Success" in the same sentence these days. Any solution which can do so deserves to be applauded.

well, really i think the question is less whether anyone wishes x1k to fail, but perhaps if it actually failed already. as there is no substantial coverage on this subject since the a1k has been demoed in summer, the question arises, has it really been *x1k* that has been "demoed" and if yes why it couldnt be released yet, at least to beta testers. the reason might be the major design bugs followed by complete redesign, as it was in case of natami. the difference is thomas hirsch has openly admitted the new board/memory controller has to be designed from the scratch, and doing all that single handedly in his free time of course cannot compare to a professional company like varisys, experienced in bringing up the products, i believe. i dont want to restart conspiracy rumours, but all this really doesnt add up for me. am i this dumb?

[Plaz]

Well I hope they at least make their investment back plus a bit. Wild success looks like a long shot though unless they're holding back on something.

Hell no, I don't want to see it fail, but they *are* kind of sealing their own fate pricing it the way they are. When it does fail and gets discontinued, it'll be nice to snag it up at a great discount and like Cammy mentioned, it'd be nice if MorphOS was ported to it.
