Another production run of X1000 computers is surprising, given that A-Eon should be well along with their development of its successor, which will not use the PA6T CPU.

Almost as surprising as the fact that there are still enough more customers that wish to purchase such an expensive computer, given the slow pace and lack of concrete information being released by Hyperion regarding progress and time line for when AmigaOS4.2 will be released.

I have mixed thoughts and feelings regarding the additional production run of X1000 computers, as on the one hand, if no more X1000's are produced, my own X1000 remains more unique and rare. On the other hand, with more X1000's produced and sold, it is more likely that it will receive more attention and support by both A-Eon & Hyperion, and possibly some few third party developers, who might write software that can only run on the unique hardware found within the X1000. On the whole, I am happy that more X1000's will be produced, as the increase in numbers gives me more assurance that my X1000 will be supported longer and better.

Who knows, maybe if enough X1000's are produced and one or two of them make there way into the right hands, there could even be the possibility of a port of MorphOS3.x to the X1000, but I doubt it.

Then again, I never thought that any port of MorphOS3.x would ever be created, or released for any of the SAM motherboards, and I was proved wrong.
