This is no hardware, it's plain crap.

Better buy a Commodore 64, much better quality !

Well if you're talking about pure electronics equipment quality,
let it be said that the AmigaOne is "Made in Taiwan" just like
all those PCs, but it's still good enough "quality" since
many Amigas have been running for 10 years daily and are looking
forward to the next 10 years - unless upgraded to a faster model.

If you're having political concerns supporting "Made in Taiwan",
you can still get a Pegasos II which is "Made in Germany". If
you're insisting on "Made in U.S.A.", and not planning to head
for a Sun/HP/IBM Unix machine, good luck! Dell has a high U.S.
"content", but some parts just don't exist U.S. made: there is for
example no graphics card/chip made in USA - None! And the ONLY Monitors
assembled in USA is IBM monitors: is your brand IBM?


If you're heading for a discussion about what system
provides the best computing power, the best networking, the
best multitasking, the best applications... Welcome to the
controversy that is as old as computers itself...
The only one thing where there can be no discussion about is
that USERS of PCs, especially Wintel PCs, invariably turn out
to be Microsoft-addicted: They just CAN'T find a way to LIVE
WITHOUT MICROSOFT, NO, there's always a reason the STILL have
to use Microsoft products, there always STILL a game requiring
Microsoft DirectX, STILL a feature only available in Microsoft Office,
STILL something their brain fails to understand...

Are you a politician? You babbled a whole lot of irrelevant bullshit to a
troll. Or are you the troll's alter-ego?

Yeah, your reply in paragraph 3 betrays you.

Get a life!

The supposedly produced "B.S." is called Amiga "content".
If you're trying to eliminate those one in a zillion content producers
on the Web that know a lot about the Amiga and dare to talk
about it, you're the one hammering the nails into it's coffin.

If you think the Amiga has no business whatsoever
with the Microsoft-vs.-Opensource discussion, and the
absolute inablillity of users to live without Microsoft
products, i suspect you're the kind of Amiga user that
is "still" using it, and not truly "indefinitely" using it
and CONSCIOUSLY doing so. The Amiga's survival and future has
everything to do with Opensource, the ability to integrate into
networks and remote accessibility of network resources.

It's amazing there's INTIMIDATION of Amiga users
by other Amiga users. Have you got any clue how much
COURAGE it takes to defend the Amiga in the Microsoft
dominated public?
Consider the indisputably true fact that IBM salesman,
even senior high ranking salemen, don't DARE anymore to
suggest IBM's own OS/2 operating system to their customers.
They instead go the "politically correct" way of eliminating
OS/2 from their knowledgebase and pretend just to know about Wintel.
They ARE talking about Linux, but this was not the case until
it became "politically correct" .

Now that being true with OS/2, it's all the more a SIN, a CRIME
to use the word "Amiga" in the Wintel dominated society of today.
I doubt any of you would have the courage to name Amiga knowledge
in a job interview, or to suggest to your employer to use Amigas.
They'll LAUGH at you, remembering "yes, the Amiga500, in the good old
days...". It's always easier NOT to speak up, to go the "politically
correct"
way, to use an Amiga but not endangering your private and business
relationships by either also using a PC or pretending to do so. Just
go on like that, this is how today's hardware landscape became what it
is.

It just strikes me how true it is what you just said. I'm responding
with a whole lot of content that must seem like B.S. to the obviously
not conscious ignorants here...

You really are a clueless idiot! Dan Simper is a well known troll who jumps
into various groups and spouts bullshit. You fell for it and rambled on
with a whole load of crap, just as you did above.

Don't allow yourself to be INTIMIDATED my friend. I've been using
the Amiga since 1990 and i am not "STILL" using it. I'm GOING TO
use it, and GOING TO use it INDEFINITELY. And by that i'm talking
about Amiga-"hardware", let there be no mistake about it, i'm talking
about A1200/060/PPC/MediatorPCI and AmigaOne systems.

If there's one thing that TIME has proven for me, it's that using
Amigas
is indeed the RIGHT WAY TO GO. This is something to be truly PROUD of!


I think i'll one day open a Church for conscious Amiga-Users called the
"CHURCH OF AMIGA".
