Will there every be another computer like the amiga?

@ haywirepc

the X1000 looks promising and it's gonna be the first Amiga branded computer running AmigaOS natively in over 15 years !

I want to see this in a proprietary case w/ a nice keyboard and mouse. Not a generic looking POS tower and chinsey $5 keyboard and mouse. There's a major tactile issue that's missing with modern computing. Today's input devices feel like they're going to break at any given moment. The Mac's were coming close, but then cheesed out with those stupid chicklet keyboards.  

The case should be as unique (while still functional and expandable) as the OS it's running. Just like Amiga -used- to be. So yeah, I'd be among the majority that feels there will never be a computer like it. Not even the X1000. Times are too different. We've all grown older and most of the hectic lifestyles, priorities and economics of today will never allow us to fully enjoy a new computer as the originals did all those years ago. That's not to say I wouldn't try. lol  Looking forward to this X1000 machine!

...it's a shame in some ways that games are written with the lowest common denominator (consoles) in mind as pc gamers often get little more than higher resolution/higher image quality versions of console games (little bit st-itis here)).

Hmm... not unlike what happened with the Amiga and all those crappy ST ports. Sucks to hear that is still going on, but doesn't surprise me in the least. It's human nature to both a) not live up to your potential and b) lazily port software from weaker systems.  :lol:
