Geeze, somebody's quick with the snark!  Playstations... XBox's...  iPads...  IMHO most of those items you listed are junk, I'd rather the Amiga, myself.

(1) What alternate history are you living in, dude?  How did copy protected software "lead to the demise of the Amiga"?  Seems more like it was the other way around.  Pirated software led to more people buying Amiga's because they "could just get copies of games from their buddies", but this led to reduced number of software developers.  Wasn't any money in it when piracy was running rampant.  Most people didn't even have hard drives back in the late '80s.  Although had there been more hard drive installable software more people might've bought them.  It was a catch-22.
 
(2) Put "convert 2038 EUR into USD" into google.
 
(3) Couldn't care less about any of those games.
 
Although sending a demo X1000 to somewhere like Maximum PC might be a good idea!  :)

Does the lack of a networking driver bug everyone else this much?

When I saw an X1000 the guy just plugged it in to the router and turned it on.  Although I admit it did feel a bit weird browsing the web on an Amiga, LOL.  It's been a long time.  ;)  Is there something I missed about their networking not working?
