You know I think we worry about the big picture too often, the truth is there is no big picture, the Amiga community is never going to be larger than it is today. There are no huddled masses waiting for the Amiga to emerge. We are no longer big enough to pull an "OS X" out of the hat and frankly most of the remaining Amiga users would complain that it's not an Amiga even if it were possible.
You want cutting edge, get a MacPro and an iPhone, that's no longer what the Amiga community is about.
Once you realise that then the whole situation becomes easier, it's retro, it's hobby. Enjoy it for what it is. Get an old 500, a CRT and a lava lamp, put some Chumbawumba, Depeche Mode or Miami Sound Machine on the old iPod and chill out to a game or three.:afro:
