Apple, Compaq, HP, Dell, and Gateway do not manufacture every single product they make. Is the iMac II not an Apple? I'm pretty sure Flextronics manufactures that machine, same with the XBox. Eyetech is using the MAI board in a manner not expected by MAI. Who designed the actual board is irrelevant. Marketing in todays world has more to do with bundling and name brand recognition.
I say the new boards from Eyetech are Amiga's because they are licensed from Amiga Inc. with an officially licensed OS. My I doubt anyone at HP ever saw my HP desktop, yet someone will not mistake it for something else. And it came equipped with a fully licensed copy of Windows XP. |
