most of us have stopped dreaming of a new amiga on a new cpu arch. powerpc os4 is becoming more of a vapor, dec alpha was a nice thought but not much more than that. then there was transmeta cpus, and various risc cpus from coldfire to hitachi sh4 etc.
noone out there has both the desire and capability to produce new hardware anymore. and when i say produce i mean prototypes, and production; not just prototypes or limited runs for a few willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a mobo with hardly any support.
like it or not aros and x86 are by far the most capable in power, price and availability. download it and run it, and if you want to port it to some other system, cell ps2, gamecube, pda or whatever; go ahead. the aros team will give you everything you need from there side to be succesfull.
for now i agree with one f the other posters: stop the madness
ps pm lou_dias and discuss alternate systems like the gamecube. (there that should get him out of our hair for a couple years or so :-D )
