Emulating OCS, ECS, or AGA chipsets

[persia]

I don't really want a "garden party" emulation, if the Amiga is resurrected then it needs to be resurrected as a 21st Century computer.  Comparing Deluxe Paint to Photoshop or the Toaster to Final Cut is a bit like comparing the telegraph to the internet.  I want state of the art on the Amiga like I had  twenty years ago.  Forget the special chips, they're history.

I agree Amiga Inc's new hardware is not inspiring and over priced, even if it ever reaches the market.  Amiga was always about cutting edge technology and doing things beyond the ordinary.  My 9 year old son's castoff G4 is more inspiring than the $500 product, and it can run the latest version of TVPaint, not a hopeless outdated one, the latest version of lightwave, open office, iMovie, etc etc.

Are all Amiga folk stuck in the past now?  Give me multiple cores, real time HD video editing, graphic rendering that is indistinguishable from Pixar, a high class lossless music editor.  I can't go backwards.  Life is too short to not have the best tools.  That's Amiga in my mind, this deal between the chap in Washington and the one in Ontario using corporate names is just sad.
