Truthfully?

It's a dream world. I would pick up a new Amiga to go with my other old systems. It's a fun hobby to be sure. But, really, look at where the state of things are. How many years now has it been since a "real" new machine, with upgraded OS was supposed to be here?

Even Vista came out early compared to this!

Sadly, at this point in time, I don't see much hope for anything significant. Some rewarmed, almost obsolete thing may show, but for those who think that Amiga will be back in the thick of it, think again.

The longer things go on, the more people get disgusted, and move on, never to return. Today, it takes a large number of machine sales to make a profit. If they can't get that, then either they won't try, or prices will reflect the low numbers.

Despite some thinking here that a Mac is just a warmed over PC, well, it is not. Either that or some Linux distro will be the closest one can get these days to what the old days were.

Look at all the members here. Why is it such a struggle to get a few bucks out of them for this useful site? Think they will all run out to buy a new Amiga? Nope!
