The x1000 is the best "amiga" for you? really? you never had a real amiga?... if the answer is yes, the amiga "community" is really dead.

Maybe Im missing the point of your post, but do you have to either love or hate NG/Classic hardware?

Plus, preceptions/taste varies from person to person.

Just cause someone at the moment enjoys X1000/NG/insert any variation more than "classic", doesnt invalidate a community.
My personal taste; I really dislike Apple OS/IOS (exposed to it thru work), while many that I know prefer it.
My personal taste doesnt invalidate other peoples expirience or the value it brings to them.

I would say the same should apply to "amiga community", atleast I can hope.

Never understood why people have to be either NG or Classic.

@AmigaKit

Wait....are you saying you have larger customer sales because of this forum post?


Making posts and getting exposiure regarding their hardware certainly cant hurt.
I for one noticed amigakit thru posts on this very forum.
I might not have sunk in xxxx euros on a NG machine, but ive picked up bits and pieces over the years.

Making a few posts on a few forum cost nothing, probarly generate some extra income and makes info even more easily found by unaware potential customers.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

i dont see why would anyone need an os4 system for the few games there is exclusively for it. almost everything ive heard of was either ported from or in few cases to other platform, and it will likely run better there. lets face it, buying os4 hardware is a form of charity. to be honest i dont see much reason to buy ppc hardware today, neither obscure nor popular, neither expensive nor cheap, neither old nor new, and therefore i cant seriously think even about morphos. still if i was forced to choose i wouldnt base it on a label, even if there actually was a proper label.


Reasons for AOS4 system;

-Prefered OS for the person using it. For some it might be all they actually need to  get by.
-Nostalgica.
-Enjoy tinkering with different OS's

Charity? I have bought games by OS4 developers that also released Wintel versions.
I actually enjoyed their games, so I wouldnt call it charity.

People spend xxxx dollars (or whatever currency) on hobbies like;

-Classic hardware
-Old cars
-stamps
etc etc etc

As long as its fun for a person, the practicality vs value ratio doesnt HAVE to "make sense".
Its a subjective quality.

For some reason it feels like we have discussed this before :)

Some people enjoy using AOS4 and Aeon/Amigakit is giving them ANOTHER option to run said OS.

Good for them.
