It seems to me people have negative preconceptions of what AmigaOnes will
be. We don't know how much we're supposed to spend. Look in recent AAs at
Power Computing towered-1200 setups for example. Not much cf. a "budget PC"
taking into account non-standard case, accelerator logic, extraneous
interfaces/adapters. AmigaOnes are clean start m/b using standard (cheap)
add on modules. From what I've read about AmigaOS/DE/hardware it is the
first *reasonable* plan since CBM popped.
Add compelling media layer to existing OS' rather than converting the world,
use existing good of AOS and cut away dross of hacks, kludges, rivalry.
Forget trying to outdo the best in audio/graphics hardware with our own
set-in-stone (hence time?) chipset, yet work with the best for the optimum
hardware/OS platform which will be inherently compelling once others have
tasted DE.
Not brown-nosing, saying plan is well-considered for today's world and the
potential of the future market.
