i>I'm a real Amiga fan. I've written lots of demos, games and apps in C and assembly, and I used my trusty A1200 until the bitter end. But let's face it, if a new "Amiga" is to be released now, it won't be Amiga hardware, but x86 hardware
Only the developer box is x86 based. The end user product will run on almost any CPU you want it to.
I was about to say you can boot up to GUI from a floppy, but there is a 192K (I think) ROM helping out but then I thought that 192K is pretty small too
I was joking Or maybe you're trolling. God only knows. I can't thing of any feature of the Amiga (other than multiples "screens" visible at the same time) that is ahead of the current state of the art in either hardware or software. Pseudo 14-bit sound! Must chuck out my Awe64..

It's DEAD people! Live with it.
Well at least my amiga is not dead. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing this message using it.

Actually it's 512K.
