AROS isn't anywhere near done enough to sell as part of a commercial product.
I think there are a few garage type companies selling AROS compatible systems
with AROS pre-loaded, but they intend only to sell to folks who know what
they're buying. I.E.: An unfinished alpha-state OS.
This makes me think this whole thing is doomed to failure if it's real at all.
Mainly because nobody involved has any business sense.

Sure... make me start thinking about a hobby I don't have time for
again... Some of the new Amiga systems (assuming they every get out of
VaporWare) do look rather gnarly, but I haven't had time to tinker with
the A4000T that I have next to me.
Danger... Danger... Blasphemy ahead...
I've been semi-seriously debating selling it - it's a "new-ish" 4000T
made in '98; so it's only 12 years old. Not a lot of addins, but I think
it had a decent amount of RAM (12M seems to ring a bell) -- decent by
old Amiga standards anyway...
OK, Blasphemy over (for now, anyway)...
Trying to get back into all the lists that I've had no choice to ignore
over the last several months... and this is the best I can do?
I'm pitiful... ;-)
