Interview with Trevor Dickinson

I still kind of wonder why no one has made a deal with some Chinese factory to churn out a run of Amiga 1200s with updated CPU to sell for $99-149?Or even "stock" A1200 card in a small case sans kybd and floppy?
Didn't someone put the C64 in a joystick?

I play around with MorphOS-demo  occasionally on 2  efikas and one Mac mini 1.5,just can't  justify the license fee  to myself in view of free linux and existing Win?ac OS.I am one of those not too proud to use an older computer or drive an older car as long as it gets the job done .

IF I had the $1500 to spare then I would probably buy an AEon 1000 for the uniqueness and as a bit of support for the hobby;of course,IF  I had the money to spare then I would have already bought a SAM long ago.(And sent Piru and friends some money ,too.!)

How many here lurk because they maintain a fond interest in things Amiga but  can't  spend the money for current hardware?
 Perhaps it is  simlar to people who go see classic cars of their youth and admire those cars but just can't  justify one in their household budget?

Given history of Amiga users software "sharing" the owners of Amiga OS probably feel that a hardware dongle is the only way to ensure they make a little profit.

Perhaps Amiga OS owners Hyperion should have discussions with MorphOS developers and learn how to implement similar  software lock to hardware?

I f someone smarter tham me would come up with a piece of software or  modestly priced hardware mod that would  run Amiga OS 4.x  well(I suppose even  3.9x )on a Wii ,then I would gladly sacrifice a stock Wii in order to have a 700?MHz PPC  machine.
 $199 is much more attractive than $770 for a PPC  unit sans AmigaOS;remember you still  have to buy $150 AmigaOS4  in addition to price of SAM.
  I had hopes for the Amiga Forever Wii but nothing new seen of it for many months.
