| Indeed.
@BigD ... :) You wanted to give it time until Q2/20. I guess this date is already blasted by now. :) |

| The Tabor/A1222 has been plagued by various delaying circumstances for five years. Can anyone say "Amiga curse?" Good. Knew you could.

| Meanwhile AEon could contact Amiga resalers and offer a same bundle with a month or two delay. If corona delayed launch then resalers can start taking preorders.
Let say that five biger resalers collect 500 new boards/bundles thats 600 allready.
A Eon than easily can order 1000 boards without bigger price.

| At least the OS4 team will have more breathing room to finish the system or drivers

| This coming fall, half a decade will have passed since the Tabor was announced. Wonder if they will actually manage to get any out of the door before that happens?
That's like two entire computer generations. And already when it was announced, it was like 6 generations behind the rest of the world performance wise.
Never, ever has people actually waited this long for crippled, under-performing and overpriced HW. If this would have been a Darwin-test (like survival of the fittest), then the Amiga would have been extinct.
Oh, wait...

| In the real world, Raspberry Pi sales have increased to record levels since the outbreak of COVID-19. Raspberry Pis have been used in embedded applications including ventilators and 3D printed face shields.
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/raspberry-pi-why-sales-have-rocketed-in-the-middle-of-the-coronavirus-outbreak/
RPi sales have been as much as 640,000 in a month since the outbreak. That is 860 RPis per hour, which is close to the whole production run of the "low cost PowerPC-based Amiga" Nowhere Tabor that is approaching half a decade since it was announced. Will Amiga go extinct while the competition flourishes or is it already extinct because it is so uncompetitive? |
