What is the future of Amiga?

Well it's obvious that as a big brand consumer item the Amiga has been a long time dead.

At least we can all agree on that point.  

On the subject of nostalgia, then why if it's just for the sake of nostalgia do some of the same people who voted no go on about looking forward to the continuing development  of AROS, MorphOS and different processors to run as an Amiga, thats not nostalgia thats looking forward.

Never know what can spark something new and advanced Amiga-like OS.  Find good hardware that an sell and it might bring enough interest back from Devs to work on something that is truly Next Generation.

I've been using classic Amiga's since the very start and still do to this very day, so as far as I'm concerned it's nothing to do with nostalgia as I always have and always will use my Amigas as my main computer system...

Good for you.  I as well as many others find it's not capable of doing modern day web browsing.  Even the new OSs (MOS/OS4/AROS) lack hardware punch do to a lack of modern hardware or it's locked in step with 3.1 API that will not allow it to be fully use SMP hardware.  

I see the poll result is a close race between Dead hardware and AROS on x86.  Care to answer why that is Franko?

Easy, same way as I've managed for the past 25 years, never been on the internet until about six months ago when I took a hairy fit and bought an old mac. Nae tall stories here mate the mac only gets used for the net (only thing it's good for) everything else is done on an Amiga (as should be)...

Only six months on the Net and you added links to your signature block?  I find that hard to believe, TBH.

To all who say the Amiga is dead, then why do you hang around Amiga sites (and most likely still using an Amiga in some form) spouting your keech, do you have some kind of weird fetish for dead things, seems the only logical explanation to me...

Well, you have agreed that as far as the market is concerned that it is indeed dead.  No market, no future.

You say you have a used Mac to get you on the web and use your Amiga for everything else, why are you using a Mac to browse the web?  Why isn't your Amiga capable of doing it as well?  At the least, you can have your Amiga linked up through your Mac and cruise the internet with a Amiga browser?
