@mods

although i beat trevor to the 'submit' button on this one, probably should kill my thread and go with this one.

@trevor

now that's marketing! probably the coolest thing i've seen in a long while.

@Trevor:

Biggus Dickus would react on this action like this: Bwilliant.

Now all I need is space and money to justify an X1000 when it's available.

Congratulations on your victory!

For you next bet, might I suggest the SMP feature? Seems some "experts" believe that isn't possible either...

To Mr. T.Dickinson:
i'm an aros fan but i must admit: you're totally crazy!!!
And believe me, I admire you for what you do for this "hobby".
If other people will follow you in the times that are coming, i think amiga will have some VERY GOOD time.
I wait for a x500. X1000 is too expensive for me.
But man, don't stop.
Please, don't stop.
Go ahead because i feel you're on the right way.
And if this is said by a black, devilish x86 supporter as me, i think it's twice a compliment.
Thank you.

Maybe we can combine AROS and the X1000.... If people stop moaning it could get cheaper in the long run... so safe money! : D

@TrevorDick

thats really cool! now we need only one thing (beside the final x1000) - more eastereggs in the new amigaos4.1 versions. every amigaos had eastereggs since the early days, even 3.5 and 3.9. but where are the eastereggs in amigaos4.x? it would be great to see some hidden messages and other crazy stuff in the next versions of the amigaos! but even if i repeat myself, cool idea!

Absolutely brilliant and lovely! I've written this in another related thread I noticed before this one: this gesture from you will enter the hall of fame of the Amiga history anecdotes!
My warmest congratulations and thanks!

I am a bit disappointed there are no doubters who came to quote "The cake is a lie".

PS:
I'm making a note here: Huge success
