Doesn't this troll fest belong in a basement subboard?

.  There are a lot of us, that if given a chance, would buy a new REAL Amiga, if anyone made one.  But when compared to the numbers who buy "mainstream" PCs for surfing, email, and such, I just don't think anyone will because of money.  


Problem is everyone has their own definition on what an "Amiga" is.   If it's exotic closed source chip designs that beats the current  market leaders, it's not going to see the light of day, too much has changed in nearly 30 years of hardware evolution.  What is the past with 68K systems belong in the past, we need to look to the future with what reasonable technology that has a reasonable price tag. As far as the OS is concern, we need a basically new one that still has the flavor of our beloved Amiga used but fully capable to survive and thrive in the modern market place.

then amiga with ECS or AGA are not amiga because ECS and AGA were outdated and far behind mac in 1990 and mac,pc in 1992.

With AGA's release, we were way behind the power curve by then.  ECS wasn't too far off from the rest of what was considered consumer gfx capabilities in that price range.
