Amiga used to be about effieciency and low price. That today is not sam, or natami or even minimig, it is PC


Well, yes, but ;-)

Amiga was also about doing things smart and fun, a nice balance between functionality, price and appeal.

I think the biggest thing that made the Amiga is (and were) everything around it. The time of greatness of the Amiga coincided with a very nice era in computing IMHO, and having an Amiga put you at the forefront for quite some years.

Now if you want to keep the Amiga alive to me it's not relevant if you have a physical classic Amiga or run a derived platform, but what you do with it! Are you developing something? Collecting sourcecode? Getting old code into "public domain" and put on Aminet? To me, *that* is Amiga...

(plus the collective b*tching on Commodore (replace with vendor of choice) :laughing:)
