@matt3k - You summed it up better than I could, I'll continue to enjoy my A1200. But I don't think we'll see another period in time like the birth of the home computer again. The market is too sewn up for a small company to come out of the blue and take hold, although I'd love to be proven wrong.
I just designed my first PCB and I have to admit it did give excitement. I am sure current maker movement with 3D printing, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. gives to some people the same excitement to people as Amiga did to us.
Times are different but not worse.
