Is emulation based x86 machines in Amiga cases really a no no? or......

[OlafS3]

I already use Emulation (on a Notebook with Windows 7) so I do not need a new "emulated" system. There is nothing innovative in the concepts that justify to buy it. And they are (up to now) not investing in the community and even spoke bad in public. We have to wait and see if their new offer is serious, perhaps they have changed their minds because their concept with the new "C64" failed.

There is no problem with your definition of "Amiga". There are a lot of different definitions right now and all are ok (as long as they are based on the heritage). But that is only the definition of a part of the community. For me emotionally what is not using custom chips (or at least reimplementing them like f.e. the Natami) is not Amiga. So all NG platforms are more or less the same for me (except that Aros is more sympathic to me because it is open, independent and free of charge and running on standard hardware). But I have no problem with different views. But we should not discuss about the differences but how we could connect the different platforms and to improve the situation (f.e. by hardware-addons)

thank you. You too. And of course for everyone!
