I cant remember when I bought my first pc.. but when I saw Win 95 I though it was cool as heck.  Basically it did what the Amiga couldnt do.  Internet was out.. Amiga was falling behind..  I mostly use E-UAE if I want to do retro stuff or VICE.

When you say "I would never go back" .. you mean to the Amiga?

The thing is..you have to treat the real Amiga (classic line) as a retro thing.  Not the next big thing.  Once you get beyond that, the drama thats unfolding with AI/Hyperion/OS4/MOS etc is just that..drama.  If new hardware/promises never come through it wouldnt matter anyway.  Hell I use E-UAE more then any of my Amiga's because its faster to load up/reboot  etc.. if anything breaks, its a cheap $100 NEW mobo or similiar, not a refurb/used Amiga mobo.
