Pancakes for me.

No to the flex because I kind of prefer the smaller size & graphics on the motherboard of the 440ep, but what I really hope this means is that they go down in price or a few pop up secondhand which I can afford for a hobbies machine, as for for power I think I will be happy with even the 533mhz board as I'm use to using my Amiga with just 40mhz (68040) so its bond to be quicker.

@meet.mrnrg

I consider the flex version a step into the right direction and the price got a little better. But I have just enough maschines already, so I voted "No".

a option like "I already own a (µ)-AmigaONE or Sam440ep" would be nice.

I voted No....


I already have a classic machine with OS 4.0, an A1Xe G4 with OS 4.1 and a Sam440ep@600 with 4.1.

I think that'll do for now!

It doesn't look like the 440ep will be sold at a lower price once the flex is out. Reportedly, ACube said in an Italian forum they're no plans to do this. (Yes the price of the ep IS outrageous but I doubt we can do anything about that.)

Not unless my A1 and Peg2 die and it's the only thing available. Suggested retail is getting a little better, but not worth it to me yet. Glad to see it's 'almost out' though (Two More Weeks? ).

Keep similar pricing (allowing for CPU cost offset) with a faster 460ep, or better, a freescale 86** variant, and I'll take one, though.

I think I voted "yes" but didn't see there's also "maybe" option. Move my "yes" to "maybe".

Why's that, are we going to get Amiga Santa coming on a sledge pulled by Bill McE and Fleecy? Bringing all the software we're lacking at the moment?

@Trixie

OK - This is the Santa Pledge
Anybody with a Sam440EP or SamFlex or a OS4.x receipt from ACube will be eligible for a small discount on a LimeBook PPC Notebook as long as it remains viable and stocks / supply lasts. I will have to re-calculate this on a day-by-day basis!

Wait. You said you have TWO LimePCs. Is it THAT tough to 'calculate' or are you buying more?

End result: Buy a SAM for $$$, then buy a Linux netbook for double it's retail price, minus a few dollars, so you can profit?

How is that giving anyone besides YOU a 'good Xmas' exactly?

@wegster

I refer to my last comment when things got heated.

Every Note in America says, and I quote:
Quote:
In GOD we trust


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust

Quote:
In God We Trust is the official motto of the United States and the U.S. state of Florida. The motto first appeared on a United States coin in 1864, but In God We Trust did not become the official U.S. national motto until after the passage of an Act of Congress in 1956.[1] It is codified as federal law in the United States Code at 36 U.S. 302, which provides: "'In God we trust' is the national motto."[2

@meet.mrnrg

So, in other words, you have no response for what seems to be you trying to take advantage of Amiga fans, by selling overpriced linux netbooks to them from a highly questionable company (Lime/THTQ), and instead go way off topic, not to mention advertising?

Got it. You have no valid response, and the above remains my impression.
