Think about it: the PC is not a relic, but it is still designed upon a relic standard. Take a brand new workstation that has a floppy disk drive in it (as many servers do) and try accessing the drive when the drive is empty.
The PC will give it's entire life to try and read a nonexistent floppy.
I would say the PC is overdue for a redesign: when Google comes out with its seconds boot will be the beginning of a whole new PC era... so, relic or no, the PC is still using the same design architecture as the 286.
The Amiga approach was stellar and very powerful in its day and age and today's equivalent would be a Sony Playstation or X-Box... leaving the PC in the dust when it comes to moving data to and from the bus.
