Surely, I will have lot of fun with my new AmigaOne machine 
Thank you
Look, we can't have a discussion if you keep changing the rules.
We know you're an OS4 fan. Great, that's fine. I'm an OS4 user myself. But if/when my AmigaOneXE breaks down, I'm going to have to think long and hard about replacing it. The warranty on a SAM or X1000 doesn't make up for the absurd amounts of money I'd have to spend to ship it back to Europe for service, plus the significantly higher initial investment.
Point is, I think you'll find most MorphOS users perfectly happy re-using cheap and cheerful PPC Macs. I could hop on to my local craigslist and pick up a clean, cared-for, and MorphOS-capable machine for almost no money at all. And I could probably have the transaction completed and the system up and running within 24 hours or less. Not quite as good as going into a store and pulling a system off the shelf, but pretty good, don't you think? And if it breaks, I could either get a replacement machine through the same process, or take the 20 minute train ride to an Apple store to have it serviced. There's no need to develop new hardware while there are so many compatible systems out there.
And if the OS4 port to the Mac mini had ever been completed (do you remember how much excitement there was surrounding that?), I expect you'd find most OS4 users thinking similarly.
Besides, as Amiga users, we buy used and out-of-warranty hardware all the time. (Anyone want to part with a Toccata card?) Sometimes it's even dirty!
I hope AEon succeeds with the X1000 (and I hope I can justify the cost of one), but I think they'd have been more likely to break even (or even profit) if they had bankrolled a new OS4 Mac port instead.
