Some food for thought

Amigas -> we got kickass Linux systems

The Amiga was a fantastic computer, and I really wish Commodore had kept afloat and been able to establish Amiga as a long term platform.

That didn't happen.

I love my Amiga. I will keep a working Amiga system for as long as I can. Its a great hobby machine and fun for playing old games and demos. I love my Amiga for what it was. I don't expect it to be something it wasn't, though it could have been and should have been. That wasn't to be though.

I'm all for people trying to build nonstandard computers independent of PC/Mac technology. Some of them may end up being pretty cool.

They won't be Amigas, though.

The Minimig is kinda cool in that it is replicating the original hardware (more or less) rather than trying to build some new system as a "next generation Amiga." For people like me who only want to use Amigas as a vintage machine, the Minimig has potential to replace the Amigas when all the original machines become unmaintainable.

That said I will resist switching to non-Amiga hardware for as many years as possible. Hopefully we're talking decades. But its good to know it exists, and for some people it may be an excellent option.
