It's certainly understandable that someone who went away in 1995 and came back today would find today's amiga boards more of an odd alien ancestor of their old friend.
The Amiga gang is unique in the computer world. We have been perpetually caught between the business states of "dead retro" and "startup business" for about 17 years. For the community that's stayed aboard the for whole weird wandering ride, it's created a bit of a fractured schizophrenic atmosphere.
Amiga never totally died, so can't have a "revival" like other platforms. Neither has it fully "survived" as a viable business, so continuously leaves hopefully customers wanting. It is a unique techie soap opera that presents a different version of interest and entertainment for everyone that chooses to participate.
Sad... yes we tend to be a bit sad about Amiga's fate thus far. Retards... match any experience and IQ here against any of your buddies. I'm placing my bet on the Amigans, twitchy bunch that they are. Destroying from within... not at all. We are just constantly debating how best to reanimate frankenstein, or what parts we should harvest and paste on another living host. That clears that up I hope.
