It may be nonsense to you.  However, I'm entitled to my "nonsense" opinion as much as you are to yours.
To me a true amiga is amiga classic or reincarnation of amiga hardware (Amiga One, Pegasos, minimig, Sam board).  I think I will never call an emulator an Amiga, it is nothing but an Amiga Emulator running on el cheapo PC hardware.

In every real sense, every Amiga in your list except for the classic is an emulation to some extent. A1, Sam and Peg all have to emulate the 680x0 in software and none of them can run anything that absolutely requires access to the native chipset. Minimig runs 68K in genuine M68K hardware and provides chipset compatibility via an FPGA emulation.

UAE is simply an Amiga where everything is emulated in software, and in doing so, provides greater compatibility with classic Amiga/m68K software than the others, even MiniMig (which, if IIRC, is currently OCS or perhaps ECS only). Interesting that you completely left out Amithlon ;)

Of course not.  Seems the moderator is overreacting. ;-)

What, I'm not entitled to an opinion? Overreacting would have been deleting your post.

I myself own classic machines and Amiga One, and might get SAM when i get some money...  no real argument here.

Likewise. I also run UAE, which on my non-cheapo PC is extremely capable and very useful.

It isn't an Amiga unless either Jay Miner or Dave Haynie themselves have micturated upon it!

Can this thread get any more off topic? <- dripping with sarcasim...

Give them a call on monday about Vista compatability, they might still honor the sale price that expires Aug 2nd. You won't reget it.
