Always said if I wont lotto (11mil this weekend) I'd like to invest in something Amiga. But winning is the hard part :-/

There are some very rich people in the world, worth billions. I'm sure a couple of million would go unnoticed to them, just they have no interest.
I could do with a million for my personal life ;-)


Quite the contrary I believe. Most wealthy people (who have generated their own wealth - not just "won" it) are wealthy because they value a $...or a million$'s. They don't just "not care where it goes" :D

In saying that I agree that for the most part "they have no interest", as you say. If only there was a wealthy potential investor who could see a modern day rebirth of the Amiga, and who is interested in doing so, and actually DOES IT. Kind of like Trevor Dickinson - he is a business person and an enthusiast. He has his plan, and he is on the way - and I wish him every success. BUT, I don't believe his product is a "modern" system with the essence of the original Amiga. On the other hand, if there was someone who's business plan was to build a modern Amiga in the form of the Natami, and executed that plan, that would probably have a better chance of success. And by success I mean to make Amiga P O P U L A R again :D

Thing is, given there are now 85 trillion variations of the Amiga, with it's carcass spread across all kinds of interpretations, it would be extremely difficult to bring it all together to monopolise on one particular variation of it - and at the same time legally limit every other incarnation possible. Which to me would be necessary to succeed.

The Natami IS the S*&T!

I for one would abso-friggin-lutely love to see the Natami finished!

Re: the super aga part. This has already been done by rtg. Why do we need something Amiga pure?


Because it's not backwards hardware compatible. (Whether that's practical or not is another thing).
