This thread brings up a lot of interesting points, some of it fits my view and some doesn't.

The Amiga is my main machine because I'm a dinosaur (grin, I guess).  In the world of the current big 3 OSes, Amiga is truely unique and different.  There was a recent article in one of the PC mags comparing Vista, OS X, UBuntu, and XP.  It was like comparing different flavors of dry white wine.  These OSes largely represent only 1 model of UI and architecture and they are merging into the same thing! (There does seem to be some original thinking in Ubuntu.) If these are not the computing world a user want to live in, what choices are left?

(Removed pointless ranting. I seem to do too much of this.)

I could abandon my Amiga in protest of the fool (Amiga Inc) in Washington, but no one would notice.  I would be limiting my otions and fun and only hurting myself.  And then I would have to buy it all back at inflated prices.

While I miss the excitement of people discovering the Amiga and contributing software as they did in the 80s and 90s, I'm very grateful to have computing variety.
