Seems cool!

I don't need a new computer ATM. So I'll wait and maybe a cool OS4 machine will surface so that I have a choice!

Also I must say that since Apple switched to x86 I'm tempted to buy a Mac Mini as soon as one can be used as full Media Centre with TV Tuner and bootcamp option to use (yes) Windows.

Hehe I understand you're feelings about OS4 and the *endless* crap about it...

I never used MOS nor OS4; they both look nice. So I'm not trolling for either. I just want to see both of them in action before I start spending. Also some futureproof commitment would be nice;-)

I'd really like a Mac Mini as a Tivo like system. Wireless and all with remote. That would be cool. That's exactly what I think Amiga should have been in the first place...

I'm using Windows as I find it OK these days. WinXP isn't really that bad. Also cheap hardware and lots of software. I used it extensively for my studies (Maya, Photoshop, SolidWorks etc). All software that's easy to find for Windows, needs fast hardware and I got trained in at my university.

Problem is though that no other computer system makes me enjoy computing as much as my "lowly" miggy... Even booting is fun;-)

That's what I read about using a Mac Mini too. So no new computers for me ATM. When some cool OS4 hardware or Mac Mini with Tivo/PVR ability out of the box a la XP Media Centre appears I'll reconsider.
