Well, thats a pity, isn't it? I mean that you can call anything "Amiga". I remember a time when the brand "Amiga" stood for exciting technology ...


You people just have the thickest brains I've ever seen.... Exactly what _in your opinion_ do you concider to be worthy of being called "Amiga Hardware"??????????  Custom designed Zorro bus? Ancient custom chips that cannot even begin to match the performance of todays chip manufacturers products?  Stuff that would have to have millions spent on R&D and manufacturing?  Who is going to fund it?  Who is going to build all of those custom Zorro10000 boards that you dream of?
Certainly not anyone set up to build on todays standards.

If you would get out of your closed little world and look around abit, you might find that there are some exciting technologies, however, they usually get stuffed into a Windows PC which makes them seem dull.  If Amiga had 5 years ago alot of the things that are available now for the PC you would think it was so innovative because is was officially on Amiga first?

I can tell you that I don't use my Amiga3000 on a daily basis because it doesn't keep up with the things I WANT to do.  It's still a fun system to boot up and tinker with, but it's not up to speed for me.   And it's all due to the limited custom hardware... what was once it's strong point for me is now a weakness that holds it back.
