The Amiga WILL go on. Why? First of all, its probably the only 'failed' platform from the 80's that has actually gotten more popular, and more sought after, with the passing of time, and not less. Even the (sometimes) outrageous prices for the 'vintage' hardware hasn't kept US from collecting, tweaking, building and DROOLING over this wonder. IF twenty-something years of PC development hasn't killed it, then nothing will, not even a somberly turned phrase of poetic pessimism. (If all the forums disappeared tomorrow, would any of us abandon our Amigas? Probably not.) 8-)
