Being an Amigan has always been more than just about the hardware. Whether it was on a 680x0, PPC, x86, or even in UAE and all its varieties. It's a matter of the heart, just like the little engine that could.
I'm glad you're keeping your Amithlon. At least the kernals are still being updated, so new hardaware (lots of it) will always be available. Gary Colville will be coming out with 3.0x pretty soon. I here talk that there may even be dual-core, sata, pci-express support in the near future.
Most of my classic Amigas are dormant right now. But I am using my Amithlon regularly along with my Wintel machine. I even set one up at work, although it's camaflouged a bit since I use the same wall paper for both machines.
