Franko,
You are truly lucky you missed the infighting back when. I damn near sold all of my Amiga stuff back then. That was when I turned to Windows, learned it (more or less), and got used to using it.
At this point in time, I am really glad I didn't sell my Amiga hardware & software. I still use several Amiga graphics programs and a couple of Windows programs to get my graphics work done. I like the Amiga 3.1/3.5 /3.9 OS better than anything else I have ever used
The only real problem I have now, with any of the newer options that are more or less Amiga - is software compatibility. Most of the "emulators" are a royal pain to get software into unless you are lucky enough to have it on CD/DVD. And I don't mean games - I mean serious software. Some other options run very little, if any Amiga software.
I am looking forward to some of the "new" Amiga options - even the X1000 (If the price can dropped a bit).
I doubt I will ever get rid of my old, "classic" Amiga hardware though - as slow as it may be.
