   One of our group members brought his brand new AmigaOne into our   
   meeting this past Sat. Nice looking but, he hasn't been able to get   
   past the command line yet as it apparently doesn't support his video   
   card. It seems a bit sad to me that they couldn't provide him with a   
   fully working (Linux) system! Sorry, I've already forgotten wich Linux   
   it was. and even who he bought his system from. I took a picture of the   
   Logo, but it came out blurry. :-(
