Well, I'm afraid I was too young (and broke) when Amigas were new. I bought my first Amiga (an A2000HD) right when C= was going belly up around 1994 so I never got a chance at truly new hardware. I bought a used A4000 sometime thereafter so never had the need to buy an Escom machine. I've have upgraded my machines continually with new hardware as it became available (PIV board, CyberstormPPC, GVP TRexx 060, more ram, harddrives, etc.) It's not like a PIV board was revolutionary when it came out (only a Cirrus Logic chip) or for that matter the CybervisionPPC board sitting in my 1991 A3000, but it made AmigaOS work better so I bought it. I admit right now Amiga is suffering from a lack of dealers. But I don't think that Xbox is really 'new' or revolutionary hardware either, yet they're advertising it for this Christmas and it'll sell until something newer comes along. I think I'll soon do the same with a MicroA1 board. Go Hyperion!!!!
