Nice thread necromancy
Going back to the original post this is what I think of it:
The Amiga has since Commodore demise, been driven by its user community, not by any company. That is the main reason it is still not completely dead as a platform, despite all the harm these companies made (and still make).
The sad part is that there is no new Amiga. Lets face it, the computing world has moved on, and Amiga is just a tiny part of its history. Yes, there is still hardware and software development, but nothing earth shattering, or worthwhile for the average Joe.
The Amiga will die when we die. There is no new generation, just old farts, and every now and then some few curious newcomers, but the gross of the community is built of old users that refuse to let it go.
Its sad, but it is what it is.
Another old fart
