Seriously, I have no idea why the company behind the AmigaOne feels the
need to charge so much. I can't imagine that the processor is that
expensive and the motherboard - which is full of outdated technology -
can't possibly cost as much as they charge for it.

Exactly... Several years ago, I may have still been persuaded to buy
one out of pure nostalgia, if the cost were more in line with a typical desktop. I found it much more cost effective to simply purchase Amiga Forever for < $50 (which I have) and emulate one on my $500 HP laptop.
Its not like there's any NEW software being written that justifies
laying out thousands of dollars on hardware. Heck, even the out-of-their-minds-Apple folks would balk at that price tag.

Boys and girls by now you should have reached the age of majority and
be able to recognize a number of cogent truths like the reality of
economies of scale which are not present in the Amiga Enthusiast
community.
