Ok, you seem to have written lots of flamebait. Before I answer some of them, I only wonder if you have your so cheap
PC, which you seem to enjoy in every possible way (else you woudn't describe it that deeply), what are you doing on the Amiga forums at first place? Are you trying to save the Amigans, or trying to show them the light? Do you think that you only know what technology use the current PCs, how much they cost or what specs will be available next year? Do you think that only you can read various sites and know what happens. I don't want to piss on your parade, but WE ALSO know.

What, the computer that's about 3 years behind the times?
Sorry what CPU can it use now?  Have they mahaned to use a PPC 970 yet or is that still a pipedream?

When the A1000 was released back in 1985 the CPU it used (68000) was already 6 years behind. So what? 68010 hacks were available short after, but the 68010 was old then too.

My PC cost me less than £700 a a year ago.  Since then I have added another couple of HDD's to it and RAID'd them.
It HAS a 64 bit processor, a very stable OS (it hasn't crashed once) 1 GB of RAM and runs at 2.0 GHZ (2.2. when I cant be arsed to hang around.  For Graphics it has a 128 MB Radeon 9800 Pro.  Name an amiga model that can touch it for performance.

Ok, enjoy your cheap 64 bit processor, and the stable OS, but I don't see how this is revelevant to the treat here. Please post this on some PC forum and enjoy the feedback. I can't name an Amiga model that can touch it for performance - does this make you feel superior?

OS4 is a joke.  Its been "just around the corner" since 2000 and the antics these "companies" get up to with their posts of user boards {bleep}ing at each other and threatening suing wach other and general unprofessional conduct sums up the Amiga market perfectly.

If the OS4 is joke, I would be happy to see the OS written by you, which obviously wouldn't be a joke. And please release it before 2010.

Now answer this.  Who is the real fool here?  The one that decided to revisit a website he used to be a regular ages on and was surprised to see people still so overcome with Zealosy they cannot accept it is pointless he thought he would post his opinions on it, or the fool that pays silly money for outdated hardware so he can use outdated software and low quality software on it?

Flamebait.

Of course there may be some people here that think Amiga/Morphos/genesi or whoever is still araond is a joke and just "hang out" here th keep up with old friends, but I dont think they make up the majority here.

Who cares about Amiga/Morphos/Genesi? They aren't around, so what? The AmigaOne isn't produced by Amiga/Genesi, and AmigaOS4 isn't developed by Amiga/Genesi.

What can a CURRENT amiga do better than a PC these days thats actually usefull?
No one is interested in being able to fit an OS into 2MB of memory as you can get 1GB for under £100 these days.
Is there anything an amiga running whatever OS can do better that doesn;t merely impress techies but serve no purpose?
I am genuinely curious as to the kind of replies I'll get here.  Lets see if I'm right in what I think will happen ;)

Flamebait. The Amiga for most of the people is a hobby, and hobbyies tend to be expensive, but as long as they are enjoying them, the only fool is the one who tryes to convince the people switching to PC, because it's cheaper, faster or more stable, thinking that they don't know this already and giving his PC as reference.

Ok, going to code some AppleII/SNES stuff now. BYE.
