Yes, the Amiga won't/can't be an everyday machine.  Those days are gone forever, it they ever existed.  That's not so bad, it's nice to have a toy that has zero possibility of doing something productive on it, my iPhone is nice but people send me email and I check the servers regularly with it.  The more work I do with it the less fun it is!  I can't do anything resembling work on an Amiga, it's pure fun!

I re-entered the Amiga world this February out of nostalgia at first and now I've ended up with 7 classic Amigas and one Sam.I have a lot to explore in the classics since I have never used the OS or any programs apart from Deluxe Paint and games back then.So almost everything is new to me.I've bought the Sam out of curiosity and of the need to buy a new piece of Amiga hardware before it runs out.I don't use the Amiga as my every day computer since I am not accustomed to it (I've been out of contact with the Amiga world for 15 years) unlike others who have been using it continiously.So the Amiga story is mainly a hobby for me now and I'm going to use them within this parameter.

I agree, once classic integration is complete in Aros I see very little reason to hold onto a classic box.

I'm almost totally on my AMD Icaros box. Maybe the system is still little more raw than other AmigaOS flavours, but the hardware grunt allows me to do more things in a faster way than PPC hardware ever could. And I am planning to switch from my current 2,6 GHz Athlon to a 3+ GHz AthlonII or Phenom II as soon as I get one.
