Well im getting one.
Most likely I will too, so long as life doesn't throw any unexpected hurdles my way. The last few days I find myself looking around the house for stuff to sell to help feed the fund. Fun times now and fun times ahead, as far as I'm concerned.
Look, everybody has his idea of the proper course, and it seems each course is being followed by one camp or another. We have new hardware addons for classic systems. We have emulation using x86 systems and also an Amiga-like OS being actively developed for x86 architecture. We have two flavors of OS being actively developed for PPC hardware -- one using cheap and readily available used Macs and the other using costlier new hardware. In the latter, there's a low-end option and soon a high-end one, though with a big price. There's Minimig and an AGA variant and surely something will also come of the NatAmi project.
Really, it seems like every course is being followed. Sure, it'd be nice in some ways if we were all pulling in the same direction. But this way maybe ensures we'll be around in some fashion going forward. We'll never hit the mainstream again, but at least we have our eggs in a lot of baskets.
