The Future Of The Amiga - Where Do You Stand...

[nicholas]

I just want one of them to get to the stage where I can spend a reasonable chunk of my time using them for the things I like to do (programming in particular)...

Apart from that, it'd be great if we could get to a stage where the new solutions help us get *some* growth again. Getting to even, say, 50k active enthusiast users, would mean a massive difference in terms of having a vibrant community and getting more hardware or new software development / ports.

Compared to ca 5m Amiga's sold or 250m-300m PC's sold *this year alone*, getting a niche platform with the history and recognition of the Amiga to 50k users ought to still be possible, though undoubtably hard.

I'm now of the firm belief that MikeJ's Replay board with AROS 68k is the future of the Amiga.

Everything else is now an "also ran".

Well, then you would be wrong... it really is that simple...

No "could be" about it.

Some would say that the point is to jump in where Commodore left off and offer further improvements and seamless backward compatibility.  I'm not necessarily saying that PPC was a mistake or that x86 is not a possible future for Amiga.  Rather, I'm interested in seeing how far the 68K can go.  It's all Amiga as far as I'm concerned, but I'm personally most interested in 68K (at this time, anyway).

Ditto.

68k makes me excited again for the first time in years!
