What will drive the New Amiga?

Love that episode. So left o field. But can gnomes build the new Amiga for us.?

@Iggy. I love the way you manage to make me and probably lots of others cringe in one post. Well disassociated from us troglodytes. True colours exposed.

Originally the hardware drove sales in the form of graphics (paint, ray tracing), games, and the NewTek Toaster.  Now I see the software in the form of the OS driving sales.  Let's vote:  how many people enjoy using Sudo, Administrative privileges, or other crap to run their computer?  How many folks do backups because on those systems you can't just copy your boot partition to another location with a copy command?  How easy is it on a Win/Mac/Linux system to run a simple script by clicking an icon (iconX)?  Change your startup commands? Change an early startup menu to select boot drives and such?  Configure almost all aspects of your user interface (i.e., not Macs)?

OS4.1 is fast, modern, backwardly compatible, and beginning to support more than just USB, PCI and SATA drives; it runs well on even 15+ year-old CPU's and looks beautiful.  Just think about it.

How about an OS and hardware combination that automatically keeps a recovery volume up-to-date with all the patches and updates applied to your operational OS. And one that automatically recognises that you've plugged in a 4tb high speed USB drive and asks you if you'd like the OS to keep backup copies of your files on it;transparently and non-intrusively in the background. That would be a cool OS yeah?
