I do understand. Its probably for a reason the same as why I post so rarely to a thread like this.

What I dont get is why people keep asking for the so well known route. Save Amiga, Amiga future, Conquer the world and so on....Stop it already. We should write some bots to generate the regular answers. Bots that can even have a good flamewar together while they're at it. ;) It the same cheese over and over.

To sum it up; Commodore Amiga went bankrupt a loooong time ago and nothing spectacular has happened since. Some are still waiting for something that supposedly was announced but those are the ones with real patience. Today it is hobbyism that counts!

No, my view is about the same as James'. You are right, alot has been achieved with so little. But really, Amiga is an old horse. You can like the tinker value it has. You can like the use of your old software. You can like the 'free' software that is available. But it is still an old horse.
But even old horses have drivers (I should know I drive an old vw beetle). I just dont think the Amiga has a killer app any longer that would flock people to the stores to get one. Therfor selling one to you might be a bit troublesome.

You are visiting this forum. So to me, and perhaps to you, the most interesting point of sale would be the tinker value. Some now and then nice hardware/software rolls by and if you like the real hardware you have something to play with.
