I'd pay  $100 for a fully updated  Amiga OS 3.9+ package that included a modern web browser and either had an integrated  office pack or would still run the latter releases of  Amiga wp/db/spreadsheets/presenters and  that was optimized to run on (required at least) 68030 with minimum of 16 meg ram but would take full advantage of  68040 and 68060 with  up to 128 ram.

Thanks everyone for their comments!

Still at the end, I think as dead as it may seem, AmigaOS on Classics still rocks!
A few interesting things i found out:

1-There is a very cool web browser for 68k Amigas called Merlin, that is being developed to work on AGA. Hope the project still goes

2-I am not the only one who wishes to have an AGA Picasso96 driver. It would be the best thing to happen!

3-SDL for AGA on 040/060 machines, could be awesome.

Hopefully someone will help these projects to finally see the light.

cgx is lots faster, because of superlayer.also CGX support non rectangle layers also on 68k.

The best kept secret in the Amiga world is OS4.1 IMHO.

Once people get the taste of it, 68k is doomed.

Shame that the hardware that it runs on is made of fail and aids.

Right up until their hardware blows up.

@cv643d

nah! Watching demos is much more exciting on old 680x0 based hardware.

As long as these next gen OSes don't offer memory protection I don't see many things that can be done that can't be done on 680x0. Moreover, 68k is some kind of "virtual machine" as it runs almost anywere. If I create something for 68k it will run everywhere, if I do it for OS4.1 just a handful of users will try it out.

I guess this is where Natami comes in.  Isn't the goal of Natami to provide more "horsepower" for OS3.x and its related software?  

But back on topic...   I would support an updated Classic Amiga OS.
