Reducing power consumption might be a good idea as well:)
I was going to say something witty about having to choose between the latest x86 processor and central heating, until I remembered that in my office at least that's already the case.
' "APUS hardware (Amiga PowerUp System) is currently unsupported, but work is in progress." So apparently it doesn't run out of the box on Amigas, though who knows about the new G4s.'
APUS is a PPC accelerator board setup on what are now dubbed 'Classic' Amigas. MOL runs quite happily on the AmigaOne, including the G3 versions if you compile Altivec support into the kernel.
And of course, when you change your PC you just whip out the processor, right?
A small company that's got limited financial resources and a relatively small user base (there are plenty of Amigans left, but it's still a tiny community compared to Other OSeseses), and you want a high-quality, high-performance product at cheap'n'nasty prices?
Old Commodore is dead. Eyetech and the other companies working on new Amigas aren't daft enough to try and raise the ghost.

Another Captain Cyborg see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/03/22/captain_cy borg_lives/ arises! Remember, guys, don't let being a complete nonentity who knows nothing about the field you're dabbling in ever hold you back.
Sheesh.

For a given definition of "real thing" of course. Have you no imagination, lad?

You could add: how about not having to use MS products if you want to access the Internet from behind a MS proxy.
Yes, they did that.
" My impression has been that with NT and the Freenixes, the BIOS is a bootloader and then it gets the h*ll out of the way."
Huh? What initialises all your graphics, SCSI,IDE and any other add-ons that are attached to your computer ?
So much for IBM's open architecture: a move like this, if true, would effectively make it proprietary.

Sorry, but I don't think people want to give up their OS because you don't use it any more

No it wouldn't. However, it might have been more elegant to write "especially if you've spoken it all your life".
