Trevor has posted the following on a couple of the other forums.

Although the system was out of my price range, it was nice to see someone attempt to bring out something new. |

I think we would have been the first to know as we are distributing the X1000. |

I suposse that if someone wanted to sell his X1000 twice the price that should have worked.

Or maybe your account has been hacked and that post was made by the hacker to make us believe that the X1000 indeed was still go. Hmmmmm |

The Amiga scene forum is the best place for this thread unless the report's authenticity can be verified.

@all
I have just spoke to Trevor on the phone. He is trying to get his accounts reset and will post once he has them under his control once again. |

Glad to hear this wasn't for real. But it's a bit worrying still because this was obviously not done by some random guy, but someone in these Amiga circles. I'm not trying to start rumors but because you simply don't just hack a user account by doing enough login attempts with random passwords, my first thought was that it's someone who has high administrative access to one of the forums Trevor Dickinson visits and can retrieve user passwords even if they're salted and hashed.
My user account is of no interest to anyone, but I'll still be changing my passwords on the other Amiga forums. |

That is so lame. What's the point in molesting the AEON guys of all? I hope this incident will at least -ahem- rekindle interest. News on X1000 are few and far between lately.

Sorry to say, it's not really a surprise, they were never going to sell them at 2 grand a pop. Shame for Trevor losing his personal finance though. |
