This argument/discussion would be a lot easier if one or the other (A1 or Peg) came with three custom chips designed to enhance multimedia, or displayed a floppy disk with a big tick - when turned on.
I'm not saying that this would make it amiga, but some of the features key to the amigas we remember of old, aren't exactly noticeable/there in the new boards. Whether thats a good or bad thing is beyond the scope of this 7 page debate.
Personally, i believe that if your an "old world" amiga user and you are able to convert your use/skills/software etc to "new world" amigas (yes, I do use Macs too much, but x86s as well) - AND you still feel part of the community whilst using these two new machines, then surely they are both as amiga as we need them to be.
Its an opinion, i think its right - but u might not. fair doos. Jesus loves everyone, even wierdos without amigas. If you don't believe in Jesus, then John Lennon loves everyone, even wierdos without amigas. :-D
