i do not appreciate being called a "fanatic" or a "wacko" as long as my interest remains (for various reasons) with the real thing and not neccesarily with followup hobby projects. it remains everybodys own right to choose whether they are into the fpga systems, mos, aros or os4 or not. while these solutions may be interesting for some (even i have remaining interest in them), they cannot compete with what genuine amiga is, being actual popular and progressive product at its time, rather than a geek project for few interested. wandering around the net you will notice, that there is still rather huge sentiment for amiga, its users keep in private, usually not participating in any so called "amiga" forums, partly even aware of current developments such as aros68k. i dont think you are entiteled to insult these people, just because they might not buy into what *you* consider "amiga ng".
Apparently you have your own opinions.
But while you can ask me to be more civil, you can't convince me to join you.
The Amiga is dead.
And, it was a seriously over priced device when new.
Which is why I gravitated to other 68K based systems that offered better value.
As to the value of NG systems, while no one is insisting you join this community, at least they can run modern software.
"they cannot compete with what genuine amiga is"
Yes, they are not deathly slow with limited and expensive upgrade options.
And you
are a fanatic.
