What is sad about Amiga

[stopthegop]

Nah, I paid $$ for Amiga Explorer.

There are a ton of things for the Amiga that people would pay for.

I agree.  While there may not be huge numbers of active Amiga users out there any longer, the ones that remain are  tenacious and dedicated; and also blessed with a lot of spendable income.  People who wantonly and enthusiastically drop $800-900+ without even blinking, on used CyberstormPPC and BlizzardPPC accelerators, are not going to hesitate to pay for quality software when/if it ever becomes available. Guesstimating I'd say there are probably a few thousand "active" Amigans out there.  I have no illusions about this but I, for one, would love to see some quality new programs written for the Amiga.  And I wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy them, either. Assuming they were available (OS4?).

I hope this trend turns around and we get a few more people that start programming for the Amiga, just because it is fun, not for great profits.

Its kind of a spiritual thing at this point...  Any effort forthcoming must be based on intrinsic pleasure and, perhaps, earning enough money to pay overhead.
