I kind of liken the Amiga to Dale Earnhardt. He's dead now, but at his peak he'd beat the competition even when he had clearly inferior hardware.

Even though he's gone, his fans are still extremely loyal and rabid.
I sold my Amiga for a small fortune, but a part of my soul went with it.

If I didn't have a CSPPC, I probably wouldn't still be using an Amiga. I don't really think a stock Amiga can be given a place in the modern computing world - 00s. An expanded/upgraded Amiga, though, is a different story. It may not be able to run much of anything a PC can, and it creates a challenge to find ways to get the output generated by an Amiga into the mainstream, but it's certainly possible.

Just about any time I sit down to do a project, I first try to work out how the Amiga can get it done. Most of the time I don't even involve the PC. The Amiga has just enough to make it work. On the occasions the Amiga can't cope, I start with the PC. And almost invariably, frustration sets in because the PC wants to fight the way I work. I still get work done, but without that warm fuzzy feeling, y'know?
