I'm afriad that I'm going to have to agree with people saying that this is a waste of time... People love the Amiga for Retro Games and fun computing but know one I know that is into Video & editing is in to "Retro video Production" Unless your talking about 8mm B&W camera's and manual tape splicing...


Somebody is willing to plonk down 12.000 dollars to get something done, so I guess it doesn't matter if someone thinks its "a waste of time".

People want an entertaining, pleasing and stimulating experience. If that's manifested in recreating a gaming experience, returning to an old hobby, or watching a movie from their past, great. But we don't have to rebuild all the old technology and hardware all over again to recapture those experiences. Host your old fav media on new hardware.

There was a time when a classic Amiga clone and toaster combo would have had a nice market. I think we're about 10 years past that time. Commodore squandered the chance to lead with things like the toaster/flyer. Now NewTek lives in the windows/mac world. X1000 with AOS4 might hope to join the party by supporting the latest card, but it will never lead again. (well, never say never)

Someone wanted it bad enough to basically pay for it.
