Right now it's a hobby for me. I'd like to get my Towerized A4000 to the point where I could use it for more but I'd need a PPC and OS4 for that.

I think the real question in the long run is how many hobbyists are interested/willing to use one as their primary computer if hardware was available to run a new AmigaOS 4.X? How much initial market is there for a new Amiga with modern hardware running AmigaOS.

I for one would love to be using an Amiga as my primary computer again. I have very basic needs which have been discussed in other threads before.

Good modern webbrowser with plugins (Port Firefox)
Good Email client. (Thunderbird or any other)
Basic Word processor/spreadsheet system. (Port OpenOffice.)
Picture viewer/cataloger
MP3 player/cataloger

The rest I can wait on and I know if the market builds developers will come.

I think, Therefore - Amiga....
