Ok guys, I will be doing a report on Commodore USA this week

Could you ask if they have any plans for some real Amiga keyboards? I mean something like A2000/3000/4000 keyboards, correctly located alt and Amiga keys, ctrl on the right place (the caps I could not care less about), del and help... good old classic keyboard - only with USB. I'm sure I'm not the only one who find it akward to use PC keyboards on Amiga systems.

Yep, I find PC keyboards a little awkward with AmigaOS alright - though I do find them fine with Linux

At the moment these are pretty close:

It is just a modified PC keyboard, but the Alt and Amiga keys are in the right place, has Help marked on the Scroll Lock key (where it normally maps to in AmigaOS) and I'm pretty sure there's a patch somewhere out there to remap Ctrl to the Caps Lock key.

A new Amiga with a floppy drive? Come on, skinning Linux isn't going to give you a modern Amiga, but keeping the old internals and OS of a classic isn't either. I know some PCs which physically can't support a floppy drive (well, maybe a USB one), and even if they did, Windows probably wouldn't run the software on them without DOSBox or similar.

I don't know about DPaint, but I know that PPaint 68k works fine on my OS4.1 machine, can load and save IFF images which I can shuttle across the network to my AGA A1200, where they load perfectly into PPaint. And Multiview. Instead of floppy disks I can use an SD card and PCMCIA adaptor which works a treat. Also, my AmiBlitz software which doesn't hit the hardware directly works the very same under OS4.1 (but faster) as it does on my A1200.
