@DavidF:
It is theoretically possible to buy a single disk that you boot a PC from and which runs a game, but the enormous number of hardware possibilities prevents that from happening.  You *can* do such a thing on consoles, because the hardware is known and fixed.

I do not expect to be able to boot floppy or CD based games on AmigaOne or Pegasos hardware, for the same reason that you can't on PCs - hardware drivers for zillions of cards.

In all seriousness, the only alternative system that I would consider to be a "worthy" successor to the A1000 and A500 would be the c-one.  It's got the "high-tech" factor (the runtime-configurable FPGAs) and I'm sure that when people start fully utilizing its strengths, it will have the "wow" factor too.
