This, this constant obsession with having a "new Amiga" that must be just so powerful and cheap and powerful that the unwashed masses can't not see the light, this is exactly the attitude we do not need. That's not going to happen any time soon, if ever. It's just not, not unless you take a PC and slap a boing-ball sticker on it and go "IT IS RISEN, AND ASCENDETH INTO HEAVEN TO SIT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF JAY THE FATHER!"
Nor is it necessary. What made the Amiga special wasn't its position in the market/specs-wars of the era - the fact that it was a hell of a deal was just pure gravy. What made the Amiga special was that it was a clever, flexible design that people could sit down, read the docs, and really understand, and come away with the knowledge to really exploit the machine to their own ends, something that showed ever more fruit as time drew on.
That's what the Amiga had that no PC, Mac, or even ARM SoC board can touch. That's what a "new Amiga" needs, not this perennial one-sided dick-measuring contest.
"And that's what the Amiga is all about, Charlie Brown."
Commodorejohn, thank you for saying exactly what I'm thinking much better than I would be able to say it. Your post should be stickied and automatically pop up when anyone visits A.org.
