I stayed with the Amiga until 2001 (!), hoping that they (whoever actually owened it at the time) would get 4.0 out of the door. I ended up with a towered A1200 with a PPC co-processor card, Blizzardvision gfx card etc (must of cost £1000+). I loved lots of the design principles of the OS. It was enormous fun- DOpus 5; ARexx...
But for me though it's too late. I no longer want to be tied to the hobby/tweaker mindset (though it was fun at the time), now I just want something that is elegant and works.
In a lot of ways, a Mac Mini with panther/tiger looks like the successor to the A1200 I loved to tweak and play around with. I hope the Mac Mini spurs a resurgance in bedroom coding/music/demo stuff.
BTW: Any idea how good the UAE port for OSX is these days?
