My reasons for the Amiga.
Well, comes down to why the Amiga500/1200 did so well in their time.
Transposing why my parent’s bought my first A500 instead of Compaq/IBM 386 machine (installed with OS/2 or Windows 2.x).
Plug and Play games machine + Small office/home/school work i.e. A500/A1200’s targeted market. A parent doesn’t have worry about X86 style computer maintenance (e.g. installing games, careful to avoid heat sinks falling off and ‘etc’) when one packs kid’s leisure machine into their carry bags (for night stay overs with their friends).
The A500/A1200 is a cheap semi-portable machine with durability/ease of use designed for home/school use.
In simple terms, I would like to see a Nintendo Game Cube like hardware with a home/office/school work capabilities. Eyetech’s future cheap AmigaOne would be nice. I recall Alan was stating along this lines (e.g. A500/A1200 targeted market). "Amiga CD32 Mark 2" perhaps.
The closest to this requirement is Sony's Playstation 2 with Linux add-on kit**, BUT I don’t think Linux is idiot proof enough for the ‘average’ citizen.
**X-BOX with Linux kit (non-official) is another potential solution.
