I always thought that god was in the small details. But anyway, I'm
not complaining. The level of commitment to such comparatively 'small'
undertakings as breathing life into an operating system that seems to
have outlived its hardware base, its parent companies and mainstream
user base is often surprising, if not outright crazy. I guess we all
know what that leads to, and it can be hard on all the people
involved. It is not a financially rewarding task, quite risky, and the
level of public support you get is somewhere between pity and complete
lack of understanding. Part of the Amiga mystery is that in spite of
this negative feedback loop, people are still taking the Amiga serious
rather than placing it solely in the realm of nostalgia.
