i will be still using classic's since i still have the A3000, A1200 and A4000 to upgrade and play with. Get some more games for my CD32.
Will buy FPGAArcade when it comes out and Natami too possibly a CloneA as well.
Although i use PC's every for work and home they bore me, my Miggy's are for pure fun and hobby since they still give me a buzz even more then my Quad Extreme + N260 (which i fall asleep using, regularly)  :D

I don't think my category was up there, but I'm going for a lite Linux distro with Workbench as my GUI via UAE.  Conversion not completed yet, but that's my goal.

Not at all what I expected, I thought that classics would be far and away the most popular choice...

If you take classics as one category and everything else as "other" then classics lose out, I wonder if the current high price of classic miggys on ebay is to blame?

Good news for me I guess because if noone else wants the classics, they'll fall in price and I can get them all! :lol:

For me it is Sam and os4.1 for "modern" Amiga computing and minimig to run old classic games on.

I have a couple of PowerPC Macs that have since been replaced by Intel ones. I have no need of them running older versions of MacOS, so a PPC Mac port of AmigaOS 4.x would be the ideal use for one. Besides, trying to get an accelerator for my A1200 has proven to be hard work. It amazes me that they sell for more than my old Macs are worth!

At the moment I just have a couple of boxes of lots of A500 bits. So maybe by next year it will actually be an Amiga again and I'll be able to play gam... errr use it :)

I second this! Amiga is more of a memory now, but I do adore all the people I know from Amiga.org. This place is like home. :)

Hi,

I still use my Amiga for a lot of important stuff since it has not crashed since I have owned it.
I want to use the Amiga to see how long it will last. I still use it for data basing, spreadsheets and graphics. OK now it is a little slow, but I still can't out type it. Since I have owned it, it has gone through three hard drives, I went from a 5 megabyte, to a 20 mega byte to a 1.2 giga byte, don't know what I am going to do with that much space. lol...

A nice thing about the Amiga today is that you can buy a lot of the parts on ebay cheap, since they are obsolete parts from todays PC's, but the Amiga pays you back on upgrades they are quite expensive. How far will I take my Amiga, I really don't know, it is not like a pc that I replace every 2 to 3 years with a new one, the Amiga seems like an old friend waiting for me to come over and turn it on. It is still quite awesome even today.

I'm almost totally on my AMD Icaros box. Maybe the system is still little more raw than other AmigaOS flavours, but the hardware grunt allows me to do more things in a faster way than PPC hardware ever could. And I am planning to switch from my current 2,6 GHz Athlon to a 3+ GHz AthlonII or Phenom II as soon as I get one.

I agree, once classic integration is complete in Aros I see very little reason to hold onto a classic box.

I want to know why this spectation for natami?

The project seems the most vapourware product in amiga history and if will be release, this all new features need drivers and specific new applications i dont see the "classic" side on it.

Then you obviously haven't done your homework on the NatAmi project.  The aim of NatAmi is to run almost all of the old "Classic" software natively at a faster speed than any real "Classic" Amiga ever did.

I don't know why you would claim that it is the "Most" vaporware product in Amiga history, when the developers of NatAmi have already demonstrated some of their hardware designs and also parts of their 3D software work.

I will admit that their goals are very ambitious, and they may never reach all of them, but even if they only accomplish half of what they are trying to do, it will be an improvement over the fastest "Classic" Amiga model and in that way it will be a step forward from those classic models, but retain most of the compatibility.

It is an interesting project for those people that would like to see what might have been possible if Commodore had been better at continuing development of the classic Amiga in 1988 to 1992, but I don't think anyone is trying to say that the NatAmi is going to be comparable to any modern computer of the 21st Century.

I think it is very interesting to watch and hope that it will be completed.
