I use my Amiga because my Amiga does everything I need it to do.
I cannot handle using M$oft products, nor the type of hardware they run on.
My Sparcstations do plenty of work for me, but for my personal use, I'd much rather use an Amiga.
I could care less what the Amiga future brings. But, it's just great when products like IBrowse 2.4 come along.
The bottom line is that if I need my Amiga to do something bad enough, I'll make it do it, no matter what. Even if that means running AmiWin and using the Amiga as a X-terminal!
My needs have spawned some very powerful applications that if I could ever finish them, I will release them so others can take advantage of them. I am working on one this moment, but, I have some that I have worked on on and off for 10 years that may never be finished!
I would have been the first in line to pre-order an AmigaOne, just like so many other Amiga products I bought, but, it's just too PC'ish. The ultimate deciding factor was SCSI. I have wayyyy too much SCSI hardware to have to downgrade to IDE. Not very happy about the PC style booting either.
If, the AmigaTwo has SCSI, and still acts and works like an Amiga, maybe I'll get one. If that never happens, so be it, I'll still use my A3000.
I have given up any hope for Amiga Inc. to do anything seriously productive. I lost my faith at the Gateway thing in 2001 hearing Bill McEwen. I just don't think Amiga Inc. has the intention of doing anything 100% Amiga-like!
