There is no one that will produce an "Amiga" that was like the Amigas of yore. First because the market is different, computers are an appliance now, back then they were a novelty. And second because the the technology has become more specialised and mature. Nobody is going to knock out a killer graphics board in their basement, let alone a killer machine that is years ahead of the competition. Apple could, but they won't because the slow leak of technology gives them an assured next generation as the release the current generation.
Basically what we are left with are two choices, stay with the past, and modest improvements of the past (aOS 4.x, mOS) or go with the designer label Amiga and Commodore.
Actually their is a third choice, the new Commodore Amigas mean there is no future for Amiga as a unique and exceptional product and it's time to move on, providing a convenient exit point from the community.
Barry's decision to go to the mom and pop computer stores means at best a fragmented product of a thousand different configurations and specs. And they will likely sell the product with Windows rather than a tarted up old version of Linux Mint.
I know Barry has dreams of copying Apple's legions of amateur software producers with his own software store, but he doesn't have a product that warrants a market, nor a unique and powerful development environment.
When I look at Berry of C=USA I am reminded more of Ron Popiel than Steve Jobs.
