You did what to Doomy now?

That was my attempt to emulate the nomenclature of those bloody awful music TV channels. "Clubland TV" springs to mind as they invariably play it at the gym. It does the trick though, as imagining that I am running away from it usually pushes me further.

It's a computer we're making, not just a motherboard

This is getting exciting now!

For my part, it's been exciting for quite a while :-)

Yes, but even more so now If it's any good, then fk it - it's going on the credit card. I've gone without for the past 3 years while I've been studying, so I deserve a treat

In my opinion, innovation in computing can only occur now in two areas: user I/O (control and display methods) and software. It's not like in the 80s and 90s when newer, faster hardware was revolutionary and actually allowed you to do *different* things that you couldn't do before. With today's technology, the innovation comes from how you interface with the technology and what functions the software performs. Nintendo realised that, which is why they didn't throw procesors and video cards at the console war but developed a truly innovative way of interacting with the console which has created opportunities to play games in ways we never have before. New motherboards and new operating systems are all very well for hobbyists, but I don't believe they can ever be considered innnovative any more.

Why do we have to have this debate every time a new Amiga product is announced? We'd all love to see Amiga go mainstream again, and of course it would make the products cheaper. But can't we please just play it by ear, forgo the arguing about whether this machine is useful in the mainstream, an enjoy whatever we get as a hobby machine? Those who don't think they can find a use for it or can't justify the cost don't have to buy it.
