Who won the on and off battles for Amiga means little.  in the end we all lost.  There will never be another Amiga made in any form.  And if anyone buys it, it will be the same BS we have been through for the last decade plus change.

Sigh...I would love to see an AmigaOS that I could run on anything.  

However with the sad state of Amiga affairs (How many times have they been bought and sold?  How little have they come up with?  What about the price and then death of the Amiga One?  And the list goes on.) I doubt highly we will ever see anything of any substance.

I am a proud Amiga owner.  I always will be.  But I've had to come and face the hard reality of the fact that except for the one or 2 Amigas I get running on my own, that is the end of it all.

Perhaps Starke is right that I sound like a weeping old man.  

However, after years of listening to the silence of the Amiga front in the post Commodore era, I find it hard to have any faith in Amiga Inc or the Amiga making any kind of comeback at any point.

I know that sounds harsh.  I know the example that Starke gave about cancer and his mother.  There does come a time though that you run out of hope.

I ran my A3000 til it died in the late 90s.  I went out of my way to get another A500 as well.  I even picked up an A4000 after coming across it on accident.  But there is nothing new coming, and I would be highly surprised if it did.

I will always support the Amiga.  I always have.  To this day I relate to people who never heard of the Amiga stories of how great it was and how much fun I had with all of mine.

It is just sad to see something great go away bit by bit.
