Hey all.
Its been almost 3 years since I logged on here (hey to all my old friends, hope you are all well!).
So, what did I miss!?
:-D

It probably will look very familiar to you even after 3 years.
For me the biggest new items to appear since 2004-2005 are the release of MiniMig and the Amiga Inc vs. Hperion court case.
Welcome back

There is also the release of OS4 Classic.
Power PC required.
-
Also a new 8Mb Fast RAM expansion for the A600, with planned future support for A500/1000/2000.
A lot of more hacks available, if you search the forum and Aminet.
A huge lot more software, too.
Welcome back!

AROS is coming along nicely and more and more things are now falling into place.
MorphOS 2 is supposed to be coming soon and has a hardware accelerated GUI offering special effects seen on the likes of OSX, XGL linux and Vista. So far it has been shown on a 400Mhz board called Efika and from what I've seen it is very impressive.
MorphOS and OS4 both now have more modern web browser, but things like flash and embedded video are still not supported.

Oh, dont forget about the natami http://www.natami.net/
big long thread to keep you dribbling for hours http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25243&forum=16#424150 <- theeeere
Less relevant but still news, amiga inc chose ack ( famous maker of non existing amiga hardware since 2004/5 ) to design the "new amiga one"
Also amiga is due to release amiga anywhere 2 ( also known as amiga os5 ) but dont get it confused with an os because its not. But its apparently been ( what codenamed(?)?)) Amiga os5 for a few years now ( see article on theregister )
