I am SO glad that you posted this, and friggin sad that only 1000 people have viewed this.

I also would jump at a new Amiga that was as groundbreaking as the original but also compatible with the past,but I'm afraid that time and the industry have finally passed the Amiga by. :(

I wish there was a higher quality source-vid around, I'd like to show this off some. anyone know of one?

Thanks to all of you, Amiga was part of my life and i loved it more than nothing else before and after it. It made the difference and changed the history, at least my history.

@Borin81, same goes for SGI and DEC, albeit not in the consumer realm. But yes, I can relate to that and I miss those times as well.

that period in time was like a dream, vivid, beautiful and gone.
