The fervor of this discussion shows that the Amiga community is not dying off at any particular fast rate; new users are coming aboard while older users are lost by attrition (age, death, and senility -- you know who you are).  

Erikson's psychosocial stage of Generativity vs Stagnation is illustrated by the dedication of A-Eon (Trevor) and AmigaKit (Matthew) in promoting not just new products and ideas, but also in fostering a solid web presence in the two web sites.  The community remains vibrant with gunslingers taking pot-shots at anything and everything (mostly because it gives them a microsecond rush of feeling superior to everyone else); this is a typical response of someone who needs a better sense of self-worth.  

But regardless, it adds to my conclusion that folks out there care about the community that the original Amiga team, 30 years ago, set up using creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to generate a bold concept out of a box of electronic parts.
