I'm neither looking forward to it, or dreading it. I like my Amiga for what it
is and what it does.
It might be old, slow, undersupported and crap. But I like it that way. :)

Hmmm....
1.Amiga are low on cash, ask community to pre-pay for AmigaOne machines.
2.Gary Peake will tell the assembled crowds he has shut down, many 'Amiga Warez'
websites. What he won't say it that most of these sites carried games circa
1996, which aren't available anymore, nobody makes any money out of, and that
Amiga has no legal ground to demand that these sites close, except for a list of
licencees, who have to remain anonymous.
3.Amiga have an AmigaOne motherboard to show us, and a BoXeR like syndrome
follows where in the next three years Amiga display 17 AmigaOne motherboards,
none of them working or are ever released.
4.The AmigaOne is the Walker. :-)

I'm tempted to buy a GameCube, but since it's not available yet and I couldn't
afford one if it was... I'm not that tempted. :-)
Carpe Diem,
