f it was so easy to sell 10,000, 20,000 or 50,000 computers, simply by taking an ASUS motherboard, a chinese case, a Linux distribution and stuck on an AMIGA sticker, one wonders if we all haven't been completely stupid, over the past 16 years.
IMHO and don't get offended, but yes...
I mean just look at the future between Hyperion, Acube, A-eon and Commodore
X1000 is already late and will probably be not ready by the end of this year. Also the price is insane and betas contract too. Which to me indicates several things... Either a problem with hardware, software, financing or all of that together.
Commodore is taking the easy and smart way. They plan to have a replica of the world's best selling personal computer of all times ready by this Christmas. Imagine how many people will feel nostalgia and since it's holiday season they(C=) stand a much better chance of enjoying a good sales.
This is all possible because they are using x86 and proven software. The only thing needed is a custom case. IMHO, if something doesn't go terribly wrong, mr. Altman may be a very rich man by this time next year.
Hyperion(and all of the others before them) had the option of doing this very same thing and decided not to. Tough luck.
