Being a Mediator owner I'd held out hope of Elbox actually releasing the mythical SharkPPC but have decided to jump ship and my main home machine is a PC running UAE.

I still **may** yet go down the route of either an AOne or Pegasos, as I do actually prefer Amiga for general use.  That we can run some serious eye candy OSs which fundamentally date back to 1992 on our 25Mhz '040s is nothing short of miraculous.  One thing is clear though, the classic line cannot go on forever and it's moment has very much passed.

I'm hoping the next generation of machines is taken a little more seriously then "you own a what?".

One thing though.  The whole Peg vs AOne thing is total BS.  We've two machines that are conceptually and physically VERY close to one another in terms of spec, plus the OSs are similar in so many repects.  Our community is far too small to support both platforms so both camps need to at least start working together.  The flaming seems to have died down of late so maybe people are figuring it out for themselves?
