I'm just disappointed that the little 'Amiga Corporation' type guys are having their sandcastle kicked down by the big money guys at Commodore.

I'm not sure if C=USA is a threat to Hyperion/Acube/A-eon. One will be selling standard PC systems (though in a "cool" case) to the mainstream buyer, the other is selling exotic (I don't mean that as a pejorative) systems to advanced users / geeks.

Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I don't see a C=USA success implying an Hyperion/etc failure. If anything, it would have the opposite effect, i.e., awareness of Amiga world / community and more users around here.

What's your point of view?

What I really I want is custom hardware with a different OS.

I'd buy a 'Gwendolene X1000', frankly, if the specs were right and it ran the Amiga OS.

Oh, and you can call the Amiga OS 'Geoff' if you like and I wouldn't care. As I said, its the attitudes and 'philosophy' behind the OS4 project, the X1000 effort and ACube that have drawn me in.


+1 Except, I think 'Scheherazade' is more befitting.
