Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board

    Who actually still uses Amigas? Where are they popular?

    They still are, most notably to run the "community bulletein board" software on the public access channels in between highschool football games and Trekkies griping about the state of the Sci-Fi channel in someone's basement. Every now and again, the hard drive will crash, and the Amiga screen will pop up on the TV and demand that you mount a volume or stick a floppy into Drive A. I think the "previews" channel runs the same program, as I've seen the ugly-as-sin Amiga UI whining that it needs a drive on those channels, too.

    They knew how to make computers that last in the '80s...

    when DRM crap gets implemented at the hardware level on intel/AMD boards. Frankly I'm glad to have alternatives.

    The NEW "Amiga" is an interesting beast, and shares little (save running old apps via UAE proably) with the old but the name.

    And that will be mostly true untill AmigaOS 4.0 comes out. The new kernel, ExecSG, is not based on *nix/BSD. It is a re-implementation of Exec on the new PPC architecture.
