I think it is still pretty amazing that the Amiga of 25 years ago is still a viable machine for doing modern day tasks, it may not have the quad core processing power that allows machines to multitask the way they do but for a 7 or 14 mhz chip to do what the Amiga still does today is just awesome.  The Amiga is still for me the little computer that could and still can.  I think it is great that people can still believe in an alternative, the Amiga may or may not arise again but there is nothing wrong in believing in what you think is the right way.  I use my Amiga as much as I can because at the end of the day I don`t need all the extra power offered by Quad Core processing, my graphics are simple, I like listening to .mods and to be brutally honest but when I word process Word is the most convoluted piece of sh*te I have ever used, I am still using Final Writer to this day as it helps me be creative.  Of course I should perhaps I should be sent to the doctors for having a such a "radical view".  The way I see it, a lot of the technology most people don`t really need - if software is programmed more efficiently and thought gone into design we would not need such power guzzling computers.  So for me the Amiga still represents an ideal platform because it offers real world usage without the power drain.
