Amiga X1000 is useless?
category: general [glöplog]
Hmm .. To me it looks like a nice upgrade from my old BlizzardPPC card.
I want make games that work on popular platforms, but with passionate users...
Currently I plan to make it on windows, linux and mac.
I was wondering if Amiga has a good audience, or what of the now several amiga variations...
But I REALLY got surprised that the XMOS is actually cheap. Now X1000 is looking like a expensive PPC machine with a cheap chip tacked on to try to say that they still have the Amiga spirit...

Your sentences become so much more intriguing when you put a dot or three at the end...
everyone loves ellipsis
wë shöüld hävë mörë döts ön thë phräsës... !!!
speeder, i was trying to make the point - that if the popular applications aren't supported; then the project might fail ...
It's a hobbyist box, don't expect ports of popular apps :) It'll probably fail anyway, but if they base their business plan around the hobbyist market and get it right it could work out.
speeder: That the XMOS chip is cheap doesn't mean that it's bad or useless though. I wonder what they're going to do with it...
Well, you can feed an affrico-american with €1 a day, or so they say.
Jua I know that being cheap is not that the quality is crap...
But selling a hell of a expensive machine, and saying that the machine is awesome because of a 10 USD chip, sounds like some hypocrisy.
Unless their machine end not being expensive.
But at least, they are not re-selling someone else machine and claiming that is their invention (I noticed that "Commodore Phoenix" is just a stock machine from other manufacturer, sold for 200 USD more...)
