I'm not looking for a future, I just like playing with the old hardware.

The modern Amiga operating systems (OS4.1, MorphOS, AROS) cannot take the place of Linux/Windows/occasional OSX for me, so while I'm happy to play with them every once in a while and see what new progress they've made, I don't expect I'll ever use any of them seriously.

I have even less interest in new hardware that emulates old hardware.

You mean FPGA?  What if it really were an actual next generation 68K chip instead?


C-One, Minimig, Natami, C64DTV, all that stuff, not for me.

If it's not an actual oldschool 68k Amiga, I'll use UAE.

I don't see the point of a new 68k based system.

SAM440: Not an Amiga, slow, expensive.

MacMini: Not an Amiga, faster than SAM440, cheap.

I know which hardware I'd go for.
