The used PPC Mac Mini market will boom. For some reason Apple users will collectively say "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" along with Amiga users.
You read it here first.
Enjoy.

I've been trying to get a used MacMini 1.5GHz G4 with 64MB VRAM at a sensible price for ages now but they seem to be going up in price instead of down!!

In late 2009, Amiga Inc. redesigns their website as an online dating service (once they realize that the name Amiga means female friend), because it is infinitely more profitable than selling 99-cent crappy software for Windows devices. Yet, it is still unclear which business plan is more effective in cheapening the once great Amiga trademark.

My prediction for 2009 is ...
That at the end of 2009, thoughts will be heading towards posts entitled 'My 2010 prediction thread'
-
My predictions:
Fanatics on AW.net (and in part also amiga.org) will be catapulted on the moon.
Subsequently Microsoft will acquire all Amiga assets (which are worth a couple bucks) and Hyperion will get busted with a "team" of well-payed lawyers.
ONLY then, I will be able to say: "Justice is done!"
-
You guys are setting your sights way to high. I predict Cool Tools #2 will ship in record time. Also, the developers of iBoobs were rejected from the iPhone App store so maybe they will bring this great App to AA2.
-
When Amiga, Inc. loses its case against Hyperion out of spite it will sue Amiga.org over its domain name, just so it can keep its lawyers busy. (joking)
:lol:

I think there will be more new Amiga hardware to buy this year... ;-)

That would make it a really nice little machine!!
-
Why stop there. How about an A600 replacement Motherboard with an 060 and USB built in?
-
Why even for the 600 which isnt that common? Brand new a1200 accelerators, or hell, even a1200 memory upgrades would make much more sense.
-
My Prediction for 2009:
Nothing will happen.
Well, nothing official anyway. All the interesting stuff will come from open source projects like minimig & it's add-ons.

AmiJoe440 appears! :crazy:
But really. Year 2009 has a good chance to be a good year from Amiga user's perspective. There are a lot of good things ongoing and a lot of freaky Amiga stuff available.
((I personally would not mind seeing AmiJoe kind of cards appearing for classic Amigas and perhaps for PCI slot to get PPC OSs running on non-PPC motherboards))

It is common here in the UK.

1) Further downside in the mechanical hard disk business.
2) Amiga Inc. continues to sit on Amiga trademark with no progress in sight, infuriating those of us that really care.

Also here in Denmark.
I have a few of them ;-)

I predict more updates to programs that people are currently developing, such as WookieChat, OWB and NetSurf.

My 2009 predictions:
1) IndivisionAGA for A4000 released (ok, I cheated on that one).
2) Complete SAM systems sold from a major online retailer with OS 4.1 preinstalled (and that one).
3) An updated SAM MB announced
4) OS 4.2 announced
5) More MiniMig updates + an 'offical' retro case.
6) The legal bullsh*t battle finally coming to an end
:-D

1. After leaving office, 'W' will be indicted for incompetence, corruption, or fraud. Or all 3.
2. The U.S. will finally establish a permanent base on the moon.
3. Our civilization will pass some point no return and will in the future regard the year 2008 as the end of our golden age.
4. The demand for even the lowliest Amigas will increase (as it should) as the supply continues to shrink. The community will band together to preserve our fading software. Maybe Aminet will start making CDs again.
I couldn't resist blowing a little sunshine! Grin.
EDIT
5. Someone will solve the limits of the Amiga's date system, allowing the machines to last far into the future..

I think there are so many interesting things going on for 2009 that it’s hard to pick something special. Interesting with the Kryptos on Morph. If I understand right so was it also possible to run truecrypt files on it. I have been using this very useful software (truecrypt) for years and I take it as an omen that programs like these have reached the Amiga world. Lucky Morph users that can keep their files in a safe.
One prediction slash hope, have already come true on Aros. Right after New Year the wmvAros 1.01 was out WITH MPLAYER, (OH MY GOD!!!!) playing most media formats. Aros start 2009 with fresh transwarp coils. Things just fall into place.
Minimig seem to have hardfile support making it even more appealing. Gunnar is back on the Natami. Amikit can perhaps possibly be installed on the machine when it’s ready to hatch.
All that is missing is an A1200 like minimig with hard file support, and then the worry for osteoporosis on my old darling could be put to rest. When she kicks the bucket one can only buy a CloneA? and fit it into the casing and she will be immortal.
The prediction for this year is that one will probably be surprised and amazed, and not in a terrible way.
The world of Amiga is evolving, enduring and prospering thanks to people that choose to do things, not because they were easy, but because they were hard, and fun to do.
