Right, and from a retro point of view that's all that's needed.  If people are happy with a 68020/30/60 when they use their Amigas today they should be ecstatic about something that might exceed the 68060 performance.

I'd rather use my Amiga to play some games, tune my workbench, play with some applications that I never used before - things that I did back in the day.  If I want to browse the web, create a PDF, read email, or work on a spreadsheet there are much better tools for the job.

Back in the 80s/90s the draw to using the Amiga instead of the PC was because it was different and BETTER.  Nowadays it's just different and way WORSE - different is not sufficient to me to replace my PC.


I agree 100% with these remarks of Kemlar. I can save one of each of the systems running classic and NG or Amiga like OS's, and the one I use the most is my FPGA Arcade because it gives me that nostalgic experience that I have always loved, in a system that I know that is not dying from aging, as it's the case with classic hardware. Finding replacement parts for classics i becoming and odyssey, and the prices that they charge for them, can lead you to but multiple PC's instead, and for the same amount of money.  The same is the case with new AmigaOS hardware.
