The problem we have is defining the niche that the Amiga or it's successor should aim for.  It's a hobby computer with an interesting past, but who, other than aging Amiga users from the '80s will it appeal to?  

Retro gamers.

I wouldn't dismiss the retro gamers. There are lots of folks who love to drag out older stuff they've never seen before and rock those games. My cousin who was born in '94 has an NES, genesis and a c64 and he loves those games. Stuff he definitely didn't grow up around.

I went to one of those thrift/retro hip stores in Raleigh a few weeks ago. I saw a bunch of teenagers pining over an amiga 500 playing lemmings.

Lets not forget about MOS my friend. It's out now for sale on (slow, but nice) hardware you can actually buy. In a few weeks we'll have it for our ppc mac minis.
