| If Natamis anywhere in the price range of 500 to 600 dollars USA then I can afford it right now by selling my A1200 to get NatAmi. It would be a super fair trade, because just 68060 card alone which I have in my A1200 is worth 550 dollars and if I sell my Amiga 1200 for like 100 I should have an easy 650 right there. I would do it in a snap, but if NatAmi is worth 1,500 dollars or even 2000 dollars. I would have to save up and wait patiently until I have the cash to afford it.

The price of the Dev board will probably be dependent on how many are made. So if there is low interest, prepare to pay ££££. But if the entire community suddenly places an order, maybe only £££.

| Richard problem is the chicken or the egg. ;) People don't buy because of a high price.
The price is high because people don't buy and production thus runs in small batches!

I just noticed I can afford Natami even it goes to 999.99. My Amiga 1200 with it's current configuration is worth 1200 USA right now, more expensive than my PC that can do more than my A1200 can do. The thing is, NatAmi will be my only Amiga to own, you see if I can watch movies on it, browse the internet on it, be strong enough to run emulators on it+support for TV output and have the great color effect of the classic Amiga (console like) I reallllly have the perfect Amiga system. I do not need anything else, to be honest (especially it have the cool LED fetish I wanted, flashing and all that). This is the first time in Amiga community that I am ever eminent to trading my classic Amiga for something else and that something else is NatAmi. ESPECIALLY IF IT COMES IN A SEXY KEYBOARD CASE LIKE A500!!!! * Sits on the chair, drinks lots of water and fans face * Oh baby, it is getting hot here!!!!

Is offtopic, but what did you mean is it worth if all people
sell her A1200 for Natami at the same time. Then the A1200 is again that worth what its was before ebay sellers use a second account to get much money. A plain A1200 about 20 EUR, a 030 card 25 EUR, a 060 card about 80 EUR. Was a great time 8 years ago, real prices on ebay.

| I wasn't going to say anything about the title of this thread, but now I see on the NatAmi Home page something similar: "Bring Up Summer Page". I don't expect a German to know, but "bring up" in English is another term for "vomit" (at least in Canada). So, when I see these things, I picture the NatAmi being vomited up - not a nice image. I suggest it be changed on the Home page to something like, "NatAmi Summer Test Phase"... or something similar. Anything is better than vomit, actually.

| I was aware of this meaning.
But if you google "software bringup", "board bringup", "system bringup", "lab bringup" etc. you will get quite a few hits. It seems to be an established term in the electronics and computing fields, even used by big companies like Cisco in job ads.
And I don't think it is because they are Germans :) EXTERNAL LINK

| I feel "to bring up" can also mean "raise". Just because a word can have a double meaning doesn't mean it's wrong.

| "Bring up" is the established name in the industry for testing a new CPU or new system. "Bring up" is done AFTER development.
"Bring up" is the testing task that is done on the first samples of series before they will go into full steam manufacturing run. Whether its IBM or Motorola, Intel, or some other vendor - they all call the lab activity of "testing" of a new hardware "bring up".

| I have spoken American English my entire life and have never heard of "bring up" = vomit. It is probably just a Canadian thing. In USA we have "throw up" = vomit.

| In Australia we do a lot of things: bring up, throw up, spew, spew up, chuck, upchuck, regurgitate, vomit. None of it pretty...

Hmm... it looks like you're right. I also checked Wikipedia and got:
"After a design is created, taped-out and manufactured, actual hardware, 'first silicon', is received which is taken into the lab where it goes through bringup." It must be a fairly recent term because I've never heard it before. (by "recent", I mean last 10 years) OK, carry on then. I still can't help picturing the NatAmi board being vomited up. Actually, I don't even care if NatAmi is vomited up - as long as it works. (...and somebody cleans it up first ;))

| I don't find anything wrong related to the "bring up" or "bringup" expression, yep, i'm not english native speaker, but i'm more related to the US variant than the british one... However bringup could be taken as a neologism... And it's not a problem. I could explain in depth about other neologisms that came from the US, that are totally INNACURATE, as the word "latin" or "latino" And it's nothing related to "Romans", that means Italians, Frenchies, Portuguese, Romanians, and Spaniards. Latin has a TOTALLY different meaning for a different type of persons, and it's an ancient word that can't be used in other way than the original meaning. But this is a very different thing. Coming back to the word "bringup", again could be as accurate as the word "incoming" Cheers
