Firstly I agree with save, is it coming? Really what is going on? If it ever happens will be as exciting, as important or as ground breaking as the original series of Amiga's?

I will NEVER get rid of my Amiga collection, I have my original A500 & A1200. (Off topic a bit - sadly I sold my original C-64C, I own one now, but it isn't the same serial number, it isn't the same computer!) I'm building up my collection, buy as much as my wallet will allow, which isn't alot at the moment (I blame the Labour ex-government, bankers, American bankers etc) I never got 'serious' when I was an Amiga owner, I was a 'serious' geek within PC (Win95/98/2000). I left school in '99, Amiga had gone really, and I didn't have much money, Amiga Format was closing it's doors, and I couldn't afford to upgrade my A1200. I was offered my first Win98 PC for my college IT course.....I took it........and I feel sad that I've never felt that excitement of owning a computer or being part of community that I felt when I was an Amiga user. I came back in 2001, but I had limited Internet, and no one was around. So in 2010 I came back again and now I will not look back, my retro, original Amiga's will be will me until I die, I will continue to expand my collection of models, and expand, repair, clean, and keep safe the ones I already own.

Long live Amiga!
