I disagree with you on the point of "let the spirit RIP"!
The Amiga could still become a serious machine in the future, not for a broad market presumably, but for those who like to tinker. I work within Windows, Linux and Amiga environments by now, and I still could give you hours of arguments why I like Amiga best. This is not due to personal likes or dislikes than rather hard technical facts. Read
http://www.monkeyhouse.eclipse.co.uk/amiga/zen.htmand you get an idea of what is meant. Amiga was the first platform that got together ease of use with efficiency, with ease of ease of changing system related behaviour. This combination at high level is still unique and the reason, why I will stick to the Amiga spirit as long as possible...
