I hope you're not calling me in particular narrowminded. As I said to Paranoid's post I just want ANY clonebuilder to be succesfull; I hope ANY clone in time will attract new/former developers to the TOS platform (e.g. steinberg) I'm a engineer myself I understand how hard it is to get money for deveolpment of hardware (ACP). I wish them all the best, but I find it a pitty that motoroal can't give them a 68k/coldfire/powerpc processor at the speed of a modern intel/amd at the same cost as intel/amd can. I know you get more power for every single MHz with motorola, but the motorla's are more expensive ant the masses will not be convinced (with the word 'speed' in the above sentence I mean real speed; not the number of MHzs).
So my point is: How to build a clone that would attract _A LOT_ of new buyers (people who haven't use an atari for years) an thus atract the interst of _A LOT_ software developers.
For the record: I own 2x ste, 1x st (tos1.0 with red power and diskdrive led) 2xTT (bought one myself and inherited one of my former employer), 2x falcon (one is defect but I will repair it in time, the other one I bough at ebay for only €135 it was like new; no dust; a real bargain) and I don't use aranym at the moment or have ever used it; I just watchet the screenshots ;-) ).
