On the point about Aros. It's good it exists, and it's a slow crawl to a completely working OS anyway. Imagine Hyperion and the company doing Morphos decide to stop developing for their OSes suddenly. Maybe one day all the Amiga might have left is Aros...

I know things like the AROS port to the Efika happen because there are bounties for them, but considering there is a PPC designs like the PS3, which has a couple of millions of users around the world compared to those hundreds of Efikas around, I sometimes wonder if the Amigacommunity just wants to fail.

And compared to the last few years (I started being interested in the Amiga again in 2005), there is finally an abundance of possibilities happening in the Amiga hardware scene again, like the Minimig, Morphos on Efika, Amiga Os4 on the Sam440, and for the future i see a lot of other interesting stuff, like Clone A and Natami that might happen.

The future doesn't look too dark anymore... :)

I say give me a highly expandable platform.
Lots of slots for add on cards. I'll choose what I want, either a graphics powerhouse or RAID server.
As for CPU, whatever. all are quite well done these days. I like the Cell idea, but most important to me is expandability. I may not want what the guy next door has. Keeps the cost down not having to add all that extra stuff in, and they can sell me additional cards to do the things I want like TV, Firewire, Graphics, RAId etc etc.
It's not the question, that is the problem, it is the problem, that is the question.

@Beast96GT

Well, I guess the New Amiga is here (The ACube PPC with AmigaOS 4.1), and the original question has been answered and is now reality. Now, put up or shutup.

All hail Hyperion.
