I didn't say anything about kludges and specifications mean zero to me:
I could reel off specs for a computer that'd make your mouth water but
that doesn't make it a USEFUL machine.

^^ THIS is what I'm talking about. The AmigaOne is actually a hardware
thing - great. But what about the stuff Amiga are focussed on, the soft
side of it all? Who's seen it? Who knows what it does? NOBODY. I doubt
even Amiga know what it's doing, since they seem to have contracted
out every component to another company :P

What will it *do* though? WHAT will it DO?

So excited, so very excited, about nothing at all but a bunch of stuff
that isn't even the company's main goal.
What's so good about the AmigaDE then, over - for instance - QNX,
or Linux, or FreeBSD? Why should I buy an AmigaONE Eyetech monster
when I can get a bPlan motherboard? Why should I want to run AmigaDE
on that motherboard, when I can run MorphOS on it? :O
Thanks
