The problem we have is defining the niche that the Amiga or it's successor should aim for.  It's a hobby computer with an interesting past, but who, other than aging Amiga users from the '80s will it appeal to?  

Retro gamers.

Retro(amiga)gamers are a small and limited market.

We should consider the Amigas' strengths and capitalise on them. They are;-

Efficient AmigaOS, small, fast and adequate.
Known hardware, few incompatibilities from unknown hardware or drivers.

All we need is new hardware to replace ageing or dead hardware.
Amigas' should appeal to anyone who wants a system to work without trouble or a pile of manuals a metre high.
P.S don't mention the number of bookshelves you have filled with amiga books. :lol:

Most people use a computer for word processing, email and internet access, the amiga can do this with some new software, programmers could write this stuff for the community, linux has no difficulty getting programmers to write open source or free software so why are amiga programmers so mercenary.
