What is Amiga's Purpose currently???

Pure retro-PASSION...that's what "purpose" my A1200 with 68060 accelerator has. Nothing more nothing less. I could quite easily live without it and simply run an Amiga emulator on my Dell Duel CPU Xeon 2.5GHz Workstation. My Amiga is a luxury retro leisure system and my PC is a practical workhorse for getting things done.  :-)

As for the "new generation" of Amigas, well they hold no interest for me. I've never been tempted by Amiga Tech's overpriced IBM Clone systems just because they have an ugly "AMIGA TECH" sticker pinned to them. Amiga to me is COMMODORE not AmigaOne, Pegasos, or even PPC.

Yes, i owned one of those rebadged AmigaTech A1200s with the converted PC drive installed. It still wasn't enough to convince me that AmigaTech had anything to do with the *real* development of the classic Amiga. That was all done duering the Commodore period.
