I'm all about pancakes. Sadly, in the Amiga World, they're really the only thing viable....

I voted Natami and Classics.  I have a MicroA1-c so I don't need a SAM.

I think the Natami will be the best of the lot though.

It would be AROS for me all the way.
I have a native box right now and really like it.

I'll keep using my classics because I love them and will use MorphOS on my Mac Mini for browsing, movies, etc.

Pancakes!

TBH, I can't remember the last time I touched my miggies, let alone had any fun with a computer at all! Quite frankly, all I do these days is check my forums and email, I could do that quite well on an entry level notebook. Having spent the last 12 years of my life in the IT industry has taken all the fun out :(

Now that Wayne has decided to sell A.org, I will probably be more active helping out here and interacting with the group, or person who will be running the site in the future.

I actually plan to be more active with my Classic Amigas, my Efika running MorphOS (and hopefully by then my G4 PPC MacMini running MorphOS too), and possibly running AmigaOS4.1 on my A4000T w/CSPPC to see what that looks and feels like for myself.

I also will be showing all of my Amiga systems to children and young teens in my area again and teaching them how to use them to do programming & create music, video, graphic content for themselves on antique equipment.

Amiga emulation will also be part of my computing experience (love AmiKit).

So for me, the Amiga experience is still alive and kicking and will continue to do so for years to come.  When computers become an interactive experience controlled by thoughts, or eye movements and are as small as a hearing aid and one contact lens, I will consider upgrading.  Until then I think I have all I need in the way of hardware.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

MiniMig for me.  Just need to either a) get the MiniMig I won or b) get off my butt to make my own.

my last "ditch" effort is MorphOS + Mac Mini port.  

I gave away a few Amiga systems and goodies I had to a few friends in CA & overseas.  I gave up on the Classic stuff years ago but held on to a few things that I will ebay for more $ when the time is right.  Dont get me wrong, Amiga is cool but not practical for me.  I'll stick with MorphOS for the Mini but if it takes too long for that one I'll bail on that too and sell my Mini hardware.   I dont post on this site like I used to and when I do I'm mostly pissed off at a post or comment here and there so I end up saying stuff that gets people mad.  Not a good thing for the good folks of AO.  Lookin forward to unplugging from the Amiga world. :)

I voted for the lot, cant exclude anything :)

Plans for the year to come
* Get hold of a full size AT tower for an A4000T mobo I have
* Get a nice and small case for the Peg1 I recently got hold of
* More RAM on the MiniMig, alrady got ARM controller :)
* Custom AmigaOS3 and kickstart for 68000 systems, with bits from OS3.5/9 that really aren't 020+ :)
* A603 + Indivision on one A600 (hopefully fits with Apollo-630)
* A602 and Fast RAM on the other
* Indivision for the CD32
* Replace old noisy SCSI drives with Acard adapters and SATA drives
* Replace old monster PSUs with picoPSU in all CD32/A1200/A600s
* Send stuff to AmigaKit for simm socket repairs (I'm so slow!) :hammer:
* Find out why AROS freezes on my Eee-box when I tell it to go online :)
* SAM440Flex with OS4.1... yes, most likely, at some weak moment :)

I have some hopes for development too
* Anything to get ethernet on CD32 (clockport adapter?)
* Ethernet for clockport already! :D
* Really looking forward to FPGAArcade, and all good wishes for Natami!
* NPTL and TLS finally coming to Linux/m68k - new glibc at last! :banana:

And lastly...
* Find a new place with more space! :roflmao:

My plans for the coming year:

* Continue refurbishing my old A500. I've already replaced the keyboard. I just need a RAM expansion and, possibly, an external floppy drive. It could do with a bit of a clean-up/de-yellowing too.
* I have an empty A600 case that I bought for a project that didn't work out. My plan now is to use it as a base for building an A600 from scratch.
* Continue adding bits to my A1200. Next up will be an Indivision AGA and a PS/2 mouse adapter.
* Find an A3000. I really like the case!
* Run MorphOS on my G4 Mac mini.
* See what happens with the Natami. I'm not holding my breath for it, but I hope it materialises.
* Hope that OS 4 appears on some affordable hardware. I can't really justify £500+ for the Sam & OS 4.1.

In a year, I will still be using my Amiga 2000 on a regular basis, as it`s my main graphics design/photo editing/pissing around machine.

I hope to add a little more horsepower by replacing my aging GVP Combo-040 with a 68060, maybe adding a scanner, and likely USB support and an external HD.
A1200: 50mhz GVP Jaws II+, OS 3.1, 32mb Fast, 1gb HD, Indivision MKIICR, PCMCIA network
A4000D: stock 030/25, OS 3.9, 16mb Fast, 1gb HD, Picasso II, Ariadne II, IOExtender

Voted pancakes since no emulation option in poll.  Don't have the desk space for anything but, these days.
