I like the classic and already have one, I think it would be my only Amiga system for a while until the economy gets better and then I'll decide between the SAM and (if available by then) the Mac Mini MorphOS port.

My Mac Mini waits for the MorphOS release. But my Efika and Pegaos will probably to continue to work next year, too.

Hopefully I'll have my A3000D, once Drac sends it to me that is so I'll probably be messing around with expansion for it in a year.

I re-entered the Amiga world this February out of nostalgia at first and now I've ended up with 7 classic Amigas and one Sam.I have a lot to explore in the classics since I have never used the OS or any programs apart from Deluxe Paint and games back then.So almost everything is new to me.I've bought the Sam out of curiosity and of the need to buy a new piece of Amiga hardware before it runs out.I don't use the Amiga as my every day computer since I am not accustomed to it (I've been out of contact with the Amiga world for 15 years) unlike others who have been using it continiously.So the Amiga story is mainly a hobby for me now and I'm going to use them within this parameter.

Yes, the Amiga won't/can't be an everyday machine.  Those days are gone forever, it they ever existed.  That's not so bad, it's nice to have a toy that has zero possibility of doing something productive on it, my iPhone is nice but people send me email and I check the servers regularly with it.  The more work I do with it the less fun it is!  I can't do anything resembling work on an Amiga, it's pure fun!

PANCAKES!

They're delicious and filling.  That is valuable because for the next year or so, it looks like financially, times will be rather lean for me.  Although, I may also take some advice from Dr. Zoidberg, and see if a sandwich-heavy portfolio could pay off for the hungry investor.

When the old hardware isn't causing major headaches, I'm pretty happy with my A1200 and A2000... games, demos, and messing with the OS. (Nothing serious - pure hobby.) I haven't used MorphOS in years (sold my Pegasos years ago), but might check it out again when the Mini port is available.

My possibilities...
 
Same amigas... a Pegasos II running Amiga OS4.1, MorphOS 2.x or 3.x... and Linux on it... I bought the hardware recently.. I'm building the machine up, then I'll buy the OSes... then, Peg II becoming my main machine... "classic" amigas just for fun.
 
Cheers

If the ECS indivision is out, I will have my A1000 and A600's working with no worry of the Monitior going out. I hope to have the IDE68K on my A1000 with a Compact flash drive and extra ram. The magazine I am working on now will be a monthy reality, and the blog will evolve unto a true website. The A4000 and the CDTV will be up and fixed in all their glorry and my A1200 will receive all of its upgrades and I will have a CD-rom and be on the internet with that.
Wish list, get a PPC for the A4000 or the 1200 and be running OS 4.0 classic. Maybe have a real tower or 2 (not a conversion kit, but own a real 3000 tower)

I'm fairly OS agnostic these days - The apps are the only important consideration I have. OpenOffice, Opera (Flash, Java), Pidgin, Skype, Freespace (for The Babylon Project), Q2, ET  and America's Army for games.

Everything else is purely optional.

UAE is all I need for the handful of old games I still love to play every once in a while.

Imho Natami will be stillborn and the rest offer nothing to me.

I like the looks of the FPGA Arcade board, since I want to learn something about those programmable chips. The NatAmi sounds appealing as well, for the same reason, as well as promising to be fast. My finances will probably keep me with UAE though. ;-)

Well, since I've only had my Samiga a few weeks I imagine I'll still be using it a year from now. Speaking for myself, Amiga OS4.1 running at 800mhz seems super modern to me. Long Live the Amiga, it OS and it's spirit!
