hey, y'know natami isnt available yet. dont spoil it.
How is being excited for it (especially considering that they apparently actually have the final boards now) "spoiling it?"

if you dont know what kind of "spoiling" im talking about take a look in natami forum for instance at posts by certain "atheist". "hoorey-optimizm" didnt benefit the hyperion fraction, please do not drag this plague into 68k camp.
??? I do not comprehend this post.

It's new hardware, though, and a significant improvement over any baseline Amiga. That said, yeah, software might be a problem. On the other hand, it looked from some other threads like they were already porting SDL projects to it around a year ago, so that opens up a sizeable number of options from the open-source software world (doubly so if they can port one or two of the common interface toolkits.)

Yeah, it might not be as powerful as your 060+GPU setup, but on the other hand, it doesn't rely on a base system that's getting increasingly old and worn-out, and that's something right there.
