Why was there nothing after os 3.9?

You have been doing a good job with the BoingBags and most users appreciate the effort.

The unofficial BoingBag components are mostly improvements but configuring them on every Amiga variation is error prone, not to mention the old hardware is becoming less reliable.

Once games looked better and played better on DOS machines it was all over.  It didn't really matter that for some specific animation and motion graphics based work the AGA offered slight performance and capabilities not to be found on any Mac or PC.  I didn't give a crap about DOOM but I do remember being particularly depressed when I first saw how much better Syndicate was on a garden variety VGA system.

Once DOOM came out, I wanted to play the game ALOT but had an Amiga.  I didnt like DOS..what turned me was Windows 95.  Ended up buying a PC for around $1k.  Loved it.   I had both a PC and my A3000 running side by side.  PC downloading warez for my Amiga.. fun times.

Once my Amiga 4000 died I went sans computer for a year, maybe more.  I eventually bought a Neko Tech Mach 1 (DEC Alpha 21064A, I believe) that I did little more than surf the web on for a while and run DOS-V cover discs (via FX!32) from Japanese magazines I'd get in Little Tokyo.  

The Intel emulator became good enough and fast enough that I was able to do Premiere Pro editing with an installed Perception Video Recorder but it wasn't a fun computer.  NT 3.51 was really, really boring.  I ended up buying a used NeXTStation Turbo Color and that was a lot more interesting.  By this point I was doing all my gaming on the Sega Saturn.  It wouldn't be until several years later that a buddy of mine got me hooked on Quake3 Arena, Rocket Arena, Counter-Strike and Urban Terror that I returned to playing games exclusively on the desktop.

I think they survived on brilliant engineering and were brought down by greed and mismanagement.
