Three years ago there was a very interesting article in IEEE Spectrum, a known magazine for electrical engineers. It was featured on the first page of the magazine and it was titled "Amiga: The Computer That Wouldn't Die". I found it very interesting and I was really touched.

Amiga: The computer That Wouldn't Die

The paradox in life is that the "best" things don't last for long and only the "average" are the ones that prevail. Just image how much ahead would the Amiga have been if it was still in existense. It really find it very fashinating that people are still using the now....13 year old A4000 toasters...and they are still state of the art for budget video productions.

BTW Does anybody know anything about the prototype Amiga that was announced in 2001? The box looks really cool.



As far as I know thats all it was, a box, nothing in hardware ever got produced by Gateway. Where the design is now, and who owns it however is a good question as I agree, it was a superb looking design.
