A lot of people feel like you do.  There's talk of the Amiga eventually migrating to the PowerPC Cell processor.

AmigaOS 4.0 prerelease 4 is out for owners of the AmigaOne series of computers and soon to be released as final version as soon as new hardware becomes available.  If you're still on the A1200 you can run AmigaOS 3.9 on it but that will be the last release you will be able to run without a PowerPC-based accelerator card.

But don't feel left out because there may soon be accelerator cards for the A1200 from ACK Software Controls called the PowerVixxen LT that will come bundled with AmigaOS 4.0 and will use an on-board graphics card and sound chip to bring the A1200 back up to an almost semi-modern level of performance.  (At least it will be as good as the A1200 trapdoor slot can handle.  ;-) )

Things are going to either look better soon or else so bad that nobody will be able to stand it.  :-D  Hold on to that PC, however, since it may be a while before we get a decent web browser for the Amiga again.  :roll:
