You were clearly referring to the announced OS4 netbook (not to any Sam) which can be seen from the context of your posting:
> Efika is not an equivalent because, it was a low end, low cost machine. > It was never intended as a replacement to the Pegasos.
True, and the OS4 netbook is not an equivalent to any previous OS4 hardware as it is supposed to be a low end, low cost (relative to previous OS4 hardware) and mobile machine (which the Efika 5200B btw is not). It is not intended as a replacement to any previous OS4 hardware. Can you see now why your comment on the OS4 netbook could only backfire?

As I already told you in my reply to your original posting, it will be faster than PowerUP Amigas. Of course, if we neglect the PowerUP Amigas then the Efika 5200B is the slowest machine for MorphOS yet. See the analogy?
