Amiga lives on in spirit, in it's contribution to computer technology in general.  Every time I use my Mac I am reminded of the groundbreaking work that the Amiga did.  The Amiga spirit is far far from dead.  

Stop worrying so much about the future, enjoy your classic systems.  Play the old Amiga games on your Android tablet or phone.  The Amiga was a once in a life time game changer.  Appreciate that.  Load up UAE on a Mac/Linux/PC.  

How many developers today cut their teeth on Amiga?  The platform may have changed but the never say die spirit remains.  I first came back to the Amiga wanting a new, modern Amiga.  I went through all the stages.  Now I know there will never be another Amiga like the original.  And you know what, that's ok.  It's not the name Amiga on the box that's important, it's what you take with you.

I'm heavy into tablets, I just bought an A9 Froyo based tablet that should be able to run Honeycomb.  I'm eagerly awaiting the iPad 2 announcement.  RIMs Play thing looks interesting with QNX under the bonnet.  I like to think that these are all in a way step children of Amiga.  Little all in one devices that bring computing to the masses.

It's a little flakey on my tablets, but holding the back button and tapping home is the standard Android screenshot.  You need to hold the back button, if it's too short a time it will simply function as back.
