Simple Question Really... (I think...)

I think the reason Amiga users are so passionate about this computer is because the love they have had for it was never returned.
 
Let me explain. We can all agree that the Amiga is dead. Yes, yes, I know of the projects out there that are making cool things like the Minimig and the Natami, but there is no way any of these projects can bring the Amiga back into contention with Windows of Mac.
 
So all this passion and love for this amazing machine was driven away because the people who could have helped keep it alive, didn't. So now we have nothing but memories and unfulfilled desires to live off of.
 
This makes for some cantankerous people! Passionate, creative, definitely opinionated but bruised, hurt, and left stranded with only what could have been.
 
I'd say people who still haunt this page does so out of memories of better times; times when the Amiga was a power to behold.
 
This is my limited view and may only apply to me. I was a Hardware tech for an Amiga shop and hate to say that we only survived because we also did PCs. it was a good life, I loved working with (most of) the customers, the User Groups were second to none and there was soooo much creativity in so many different fields. Face it, The Amiga was the computer not just for everyone, but for ANYONE! See, I can be passionate too! :crazy:
 
So! When people start messing with someone's remembrance of such a personal thing, they get passionate! That’s why things like this new Commodore or any other “thing” that calls itself Amiga trips off emotions. And what will set a member off is different for each person. It might be one, some or none!
 
Me, I’m really pushing for the Natami, hope for the best for the Minimig and don’t really see anything cool about the C= of America “recase” of a PC. The X1000… Still out to lunch on that one.
 
There, I kept it short...
