today amiga is a pc.
Erm, how again? OS dictates type. OS has dictated type since people expected to run the same software on a future iteration of a computing product.

we can like it or not, but it's a pc.
You can keep saying it, doesn't make it true.

30 years ago it was a mc68k based computer.
Amiga was not around in 1981

the main peculiarity of the "30 years ago amiga" was its custom chips.
And a full multitasking GUI? Or were you just a games player?

think to the x1000 or the sam boards: they're pcs too. yes, they have ppc cpus and not intel compatible ones, but they're pcs.
see above. The definition of 'PC' for the man in the street is intel based running a windows OS. That's why 'PC format' and magazines like it never cover mac, BSD, etc.

living in the past. i say it once again: no more goonies, roanald reagan or nwobhm. 80s are ended.
Yes, well done for talking down to people. We really appreciate that.Considering both AROS and Morphos are based on living in the past too, as they are continuations on AmigaOS.

Now we can like a ppc pc board and install our os4 or old mac and use morphos and it's totally good! What we have to understand is that world has gone beyond our "custom chipset" or "draggable screens". And if someone buys or has a licence to do it (respecting copyrights or trademarks), he can call every machine he has amiga, tandy, dragon1000, spectrum, hal9000 or whatever he likes!

So your saying Amiga.org, which is dedicated to the Amiga computer and derivitives, should cover anything with an Amiga sticker on it?
I don't often say this sort of thing, but You really are talking shite, and you aught to question why you are on here.
