I think both Natami and Minimig are great projects and they will certainly bring the Amiga into the future. They might still be around when most of the classic hardware is broken beyond repair.

Yep, but classic hardware can still be repaired and in the near future we will think of new ways to intergrating new hardware on these old boards.
 
We are already doing it and what is stopping us from using other cpu's instead of high cost and unavailble Motorola processors ?
Even the custom chips shouldn't be to hard to fit into one chip.
I think we will see enough great new hardware for the Amiga future.

Oh she smashed her keyboard because she can't work with Windows XP, then she really is a dumbass and I rather wouldn't see her doing this to a beautiful Natami :roflmao::roflmao:
And no it won't increase her breasts either :roflmao:

It looks melted.

Why do all futuristic renderings of Amiga's look like all in one PCs? That form factor is not really that popular with PC users.

Yep, sort of Salvador Dali meets '80s computing, and not in a good way. It would be nice if they produced a mini itx board and let us put it in a case. There's a lot of mini-itx cases that look quite stylish....

The rendering is just fan art of how a Natami could look like, nothing is set and nothing is definitive, so untill then it's all guessing at what it will be and how it will look :hammer:
 
This is how the baseboard looks now:

Do you seriously think that there will be users coming back to the Amiga platform? We are all there is and all there likely will be, whatever we do in the Amiga world we need to do for ourselves, not some mythical entry by troops...

Yeah if either X1000 or Natami picks up, then it will be a change from your everyday PC / Mac.
 
My bet is on Natami, X1000 is just way too overpriced.

It's a shame apparently so few people in the community realise this. :(

I realise it, but their are some great people out there still doing great work on hardware.
It could have been different, if the end of Commodore really had everyone pulling out and doing nothing, then Amiga's and other Commordores would have vanished by now.
 
I'm just glad the retro feel of all old Commodores and all other consoles for that matter have stayed trough time.
