the only thing I use a Mac for is to access the net and to be honest in 25 years of using the Amiga on a daily basis the ability to access the net with it is something I haven't missed or am really interested in it being able to do so... :)


This places you solidly on the fringe, together with most of the rest of us here for various reasons. Most of us are the totally wrong people to really say anything about what others want or would find useful. That's one of the reasons I don't get why people here get so worked up over what other people use or want to use etc. - seen from mainstream users point of view, we're all a bunch of lunatics anyway.

Use the Amiga for what it is and always will be, something a wee bit different from all the mundane world of modern PCs and gimmicks. It's a machine that is a joy to use and learn about, if you want tablets and all that malarky go out and buy one they are avalble if thats your thing... :)


I don't think any shade of Amiga has any hope of regaining a mainstream position, but I still want to be able to use an Amiga-like OS (AROS would suit me just fine - I'm not a purist) on my laptop, on a tablet, as my main desktop machine. I don't think that's an unreasonable wish. That said, it'll take a huge amount of effort before it could mostly replace Linux for most of my needs.
