Same goes for me...its a price vs. usefulness issue. "Do I really need this and what will I use it for if I get it?" Is what I always try to ask myself before a major purchase. I would love to support an Amiga company, but really can we trust any of them right now? Or even in the past couple of years? (I know there are a few that are honest and try hard, but the main players in control of the "Amiga" don't seem to me to be worthy) I have donated to AROS as I think it is the only real direction for the Amiga to go in. No one person at the helm, and no one target platform to buy for with all of the different ports. I would like to donate more, but I just got laid off unfortunately... (but with a little luck I will be going on to a slick new job soon!) I still have many classic Amigas for firing up old games with my brother and Dad sometimes. They are good for that and I don't need to spend the money on an A1 and then emulate a system that I already have in the garage. (Or in my brothers case, his A600 is on his desk next to his iBook and his PC)
Ultimately, I wish that AROS could draw in a larger audience and thus bring in more devs, get more of a word out about it, and with some solid community backing buy the rights to the Amiga name and any other IP they need / want and not have any of these shady characters involved with the Amiga anymore...ahhh keep dreaming Josh. Oh well. Time to play some Dead Or Alive Ultimate...
