And I'd guess you could call me a newbie.
Well not really chronologically.
I've been using computers since they late 70's.
During the Amiga's heyday, I was working for a company that sold 68K based OS9 systems.
I've always been fond of 68K based systems and was smart enough to know how much better the Amiga was then Apple's Mac.
These days, I dabble with NG OS', but I've frequently considered buying a 1200 or 4000.
Problem is, I'm pretty satisfied with emulation and MorphOS. If UAE under MorphOS featured JIT support, I'd be perfectly happy staying with what I've got.
