@DarkGlobe: It's the first time I enjoy reading a post that long :-)
As many others my A1200 sit next to my x86 (XP/Redhat). I still use my A1200 regulary, I play games with XP and render 3D with Redhat.
I think AmigaOS4 is worth the wait. The hardware is already out. That was the main problem in the past; hardware was never delivered by a halfdozen entities while we kept patching AOS to our hearts content.
In the near future I'm not worried one bit of AInc's demize. In a sense the snowball is already rolling. Lot's of imprevements will be scheduled for the next OS release. There's still ways of hotting up the G4 with nicer chipsets. Eyetech and Hyperion will (hopefully) not call it a day so easily.
But there's hope; things can still go wrong :-)
