Hi Nquil
Please don't let the lack of software "this or that" influence your decision not to buy an A1. I have an A1XE and I love it, so much so I have also picked up and Imac and Emac (seems a strange arguement doesn't it).
I love AOS as do I believe everyone does on this and other Amiga sites. The PPC platform intigues me hence the buying of our longtime cousins the Mac (I got them very cheap).
All I can say is that I love my XE and there is not much I cannot do on it that I can do on my high ends PCs, so please just get on board, get one, the more on board the less likely to fail. Sure it's a new platform and may have some minor bugs but the way I see it is the first few who bought XE etc (like me) took the big chances, we are the ones who have some niggling problems but the new A1s are fine (ours can be fixed by several means).
The RISC community is pretty resiliant and they also watch Amiga progress, success for both may also be achieved by some joint development.
At least both communities have a degree of influence on the way forward of their platform of choice.
cheers
