It is wrong regarding drugs, and its wrong with software.. what's your
point ?

If you start to sell a product with DOS included I'm pretty sure you would
have a couple of hungry lawyers in your back before you could say b�vertr�ck.

They also never released it for free.

..For use on apple computers only, not emulators.. that's at least how I
read their licence agreement..

People that want a machine with that specification and that have the
money for it.. ..just like any other computer.

I'm pretty sure they sell more than that actually, especially if they
ever get a release of AmigaOS4.

Eh ? why do you think that ? ..first of all they are "generic" PPC motherboards,
so alot of people that like OpenSource OSes would be interested of them,
so ofcoz they will have a secondhandmarket, both Amigaoids AND other people.

>wants a computer with no software, no support and nothing to make it

What do you know about that ? if AmigaOS4 get released there are loads of
software for it already.

..And that software would work on the AmigaOne too.. 


I have to ask, do you know ANYTHING at all about the AmigaOne ?
or do you ONLY know the name ? ..judging by your post it looks like
you only know the name and nothing more, if so you better learn
a bit about what you troll about or shut up so you don't look so stupid..


..Personally I'm not going to buy an AmigaOne before there is AmigaOS for
it, when it is I probably buy one if the price is fairly ok.
