what OS4 needs is a "killer" app. Even a hardware/software combo like the toaster/flyer would be the ticket. If you want to do Office stuff, accounting, or CD burning you might as well use a cheap x86 box with Linux/Windows to do that stuff. Walmart has a linux/x86 box with a 1.2 ghz Duron for $200.  The Draco is a good example of what AmigaOS was great for. Small, fast, and reliable.

Oh my God, that machine is such a piece of junk.


For you, yes :-P  but how much power does the home user really need?. The regular user would never know it was a peice of junk until a year later when it wont run the latest apps very fast. It will still run all the office apps for several years. I thought about buying one to do all the basic accounting work for my business.  ;-)
