Sure it is (both). Questions : First : Will the HADES be available in the
long term (as it must, for your vision), or will it go the way of the Medusa ?
It's very problematic to produce such small numbers of machines and still
be competetive. Second : If you were to pay a price as the one for the
HADES for a machine to run a Unix-like system, won't you settle for a
much cheaper machine with the same computing performance, that still
could support 'real' Unix (Linux) ? Third (for the Falcon question) : Are
still enough people interested in MSX ?

I'd never say that Ataris aren't useful anymore. After all, I own a
couple of them and no PC, and I'm still convinced of their benefits.
