It *IS* at the moment until they can announce someone is making an
alternitive. You can't say that it in't the only AmigaOne system choice,
becuase as it stands *IT IS*

It's hardly a *new* system then is it? That's like Microsoft naming the
system requirements on the side of WindowsME the MSOne or something isn't
it. Hardly the "exciting new system" that was expected.
I thought that the AmigaOne was expected to be a reference design, not just
a list of basic requirements. Did it really take them all that time along
with Dean Brown just to come up with that list?
