If you check out Blake's site you will see he's a collector of all things vintage to do with computing. Mac's happen to be his passion (check out his basement pics!) but he loves anything Retro
 
i would order it when it comes on the market
and look what i can do with it ....
sounds to be a interesting bit of kit
and no mainstream computer
 
I'm still new here but am an avid Amiga user but I find these new ones are just too 'Pee Cee' looking. I'm probs on my own with that opinion but I have not really been interested in the One, Sam, Peggy, etc. This look's much of the same ilk.

Forgive me if I'm missing the point.
 
Why would you put upcoming hardware in a Apple Collectors forum?

Because the article represents a rebirth of a vintage computer and OS.
A collector's item if you will.
And the Amiga, with the Atari ST, were the only two 'home computers' aside from Macs using GUIs and 680XX in the mid 80s.

IMHO from personal experience they were following the same 'religion' as the Macs, and if you were familiar with one the others were easy to learn.

The Amiga did graphics like no other machine at the time less than a dedicated SGI workstation, and its architecture pointed the way ahead.

Like the NeXT, which also pointed out the direction to go (NeXTStep> OSX).
 
Niiice! - I want one xD - Even though Im too young to have used them when they came out (I grew up on a strict diet of Windows 95 and System 7 and newer). I have now used one and I think Im tempted - just to grab a piece of computing history (even if it is by now a rather obscure one)

My pet theory is that the Mac survived where the other two failed at least in part because the Mac was primarily a software platform whereas the other two were primarily hardware platforms, which gave Apple much more flexibility to about face in terms of implementation and target segments. Although both the Amiga and the ST had GUIs that isolated a programmer from hardware concerns, they also had massive catalogues of software (games, mostly) that went direct to the hardware.

Any validity in that?
