So, Pixie...

A generic PPC board designed and manufactured by a bunch of guys in Asia (who have probably never even seen an Amiga in their lives let alone used one) that currently only runs Linux

is more "Amiga" than

A custom-made PPC board designed and manufactured in Germany by long-time Amiga hardware designers running an OS written by long-time expert Amiga coders that runs Amiga programs.

simply because Eyetech pays AInc $50/board to call it "Amiga"?

Actually TBH I don't give a damn if I'm considered an Amiga user or not any more.  Truth is my Pegasos and MorphOS is better, faster and more stable than any of my Amigas ever were.  You don't want Genesi suppporting Amiga shows? Fine, but don't be surprised if there aren't any shows at all.  

In my opinion Genesi are better off attending large mainstream shows like CES, ECTS than these little amateur get-togethers.  They're worth more than this.

Leave future "Amiga" shows to the few dozen AInc worshippers who get hard at the sight of Linux running on a Teron board, a window being dragged about on a A4000 and a shareware-quality puzzle game on a Sharp Zaurus.  Maybe if they all club together they can afford to hire out a scout hut.
