| OK, what no one is saying is: 1) If there is a battle of Amigaalikes, Amiga is strong favorite to win because they have the name. This will lead to disillusionment and low morale amongst people who have put their all into Phoenix. This means that talks with Amiga should start at the earliest. 2) The cards cost in the $500 region. The price of a cheapo PC or a Playstation2. The new Amiga is slated for Q3. That's 6 months or $84 a month use of the card. We need a shopping list from Amiga. That's one thing Gateway got right, providing a shopping list in advance for OS3.5 3) Users and developers are investing in the dark. Suppose that the Q3 system won't work with the cards. Shouldn't we all be warned before manufacturing runs are ordered and stocks get built up. |
