we're kind of philosiphising (however you spell that) about what makes an amiga an amiga. is it not what we do with it that counts? or is it all about the environment in which we do what we do?
for me i'd like to slap in a floppy disk of lotus2, and run a link up game.
and if a catweasel card in an x86 pc lets me do that...?
apparently, these OS4.x machines allow you to run your old 680x0 software at speeds unheard of in the "good ol' days". would you not like to run your cinema3D stuff at the kind of speeds undreamed of years ago?
i dunno. i'm all for progress, so long as i don't loose the amiga "feeling" along the way.
what that is, is different for everyone.
i've also thought about running a mini PC, and somehow butcher a PCI slot to hook up to a miggies cpu slot and run x86 (with a 68k emu) as an accelerator...
