I sent Amiga, Inc. and Fleecy Moss an open letter in response to his statements on AmigaWorld.net and in Total Amiga Magazine about the hardware market restrictions imposed on AmigaOS. You can read it here.

Open letter to Fleecy Moss and Amiga, Inc. : Comment 61 of 83 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ole-Egil on 19-Mar-2003 07:08 GMT | In reply to Comment 52 (MarkTime): Well, I think in the case of Sun the thing that worked was more of a "we're prepared to spend money on this OS if it can run on standard hardware, but we don't need the extremely expensive hardware you're making" rather than a petition from a "community".
On a totally different note, I see Sun's "entry level workstation" with 128MB memory, PCI graphics card, 550MHz CPU, 10/100 ethernet, firewire, usb, 40G HD, floppy and 48x CDROM (solaris 8 preinstalled) comes out at $1400 directly from Sun. Wow, too bad AmigaOnes are so expensive, right? That's more or less the same price as the G4 power system Eyetech have on their website. Ok, so the AmigaOne doesn't come with onboard firewire, but it has twice as much disk, 4 times as much memory, faster CPU, AGP graphics (instead of PCI), DVDROM, CDRW, and a 66MHz PCI slot if you have a 66MHz PCI card. I have, once I manage to get some drivers compiled in. |
