I would have to disagree, advances in pc technology do not make the amiga an less relevant of a platform. Despite is absence in the main stream "dead" is not a work I would use to describe the amiga. There is still a signifigant user and development base, and amigas HAVE been made and are available new in the box as we speak. NOT TO MENTION AMIGA OS 3.5 WAS RELEASED ONLY 2 MONTHS AGO. There are companies that clone the amiga, there are power pc boards for the amiga, I could go on and on. The amiga is the last great hobby computer, its a fantastic machine and thats why so many people still do use them. Its obvious from your post you have never seen a power pc or 060 amiga in action with programs like visual prefs, newicons, executive, etc
