20 year old software or linux ports, great. I do desktop publishing, where's something that even comes close to Quark? Video Toaster is old, analogue, non-HD and lacks most of the feature of Final Cut. TV Paint is neat, but if you want a version created in the 21st Century you have to have a Mac or PC, I use version 8.1. How about a Garageband for the Amiga? Photoshop? MP3 editor? Can you rip a DVD to an ipod on an Amiga? (Did that last night on a Mac whilest surfing the web). With cassette tapes dead I've been trying to get my last tapes onto modern technology, I capture and clean the hiss and other noise from them and save them as MP3s, can you do that on an Amiga? I have audio and video in a dozen different formats, including lossless, to add another one I add add a Codec, how many codecs for Amiga?
The Minimig is promising, an Amiga in a small portable device to play retro games. I'm definitely going to buy/build one of those. But that's playing classic games for fun, it won't bring the Amiga back. For that it needs state of the art hardware and software. And a killer app. Amiga has neither and is not likely to since it is a two person company - a web developer and a web developer appointed president :-D
