- : It is a PROTOTYPE, and I doubt that when it is finally released that
- : it will have white drives and beige keyboard. Don't you see, they
- : just have put in some standard-drives that are NOT black.

- ..Which looks like absolute crap, no matter how you call it.
-
- No matter what country you're from, no matter what language you speak..
- It looks like complete, utter shit... And it follows a long tradition of
- Amiga Tech's to put their machines on display at MAJOR shows and events,
- and having them look like absolute crap.. Need I remind you of the
- infamous "dirty A4000T" at the WoA show in Canada not too long ago? The
- stupid fucks wouldn't even bother to take a damp cloth to the thing, so
- they unveil their flagship machine to the world looking like it had just
- been dragged out of a basement.
-
- Amiga Tech, plainly, and basically does *not* care about their products,
- in any form. If they did, (meaning, if they had ANY form of dignity or
- pride in what they were doing), they would have been ashamed to present
- a laughable turd of a computer to the European buyer as they did at CeBit.
-
- No *real* computer company on this planet would be caught DEAD selling
- their machines having them look like somebody's garage-sale reject.
- If you cant realize this simple fact, then maybe you need to take a closer
- look at what computer you buy next.
-
- Mine sure as hell wont be from a company who finds nothing wrong with
- showing up to Europe's largest computer show, and essentially showing
- the eager and expectant crowd; "Here's our pile of shit. This is all we
- have to show for over a years worth of work.. An outdated, backward,
- slow Amiga with 1MB of chip ram, which sounds more like 1987 than 1997
- ... We essentially dont care how it looks, or how its appearance reflects
- upon us as a company.. Wanna buy it?"
-
-
- Get a clue.
