# Nope.
Those machines took all the fun out of home computing. When I think of what we SHOULD be using today... just... gaaaahhhh!

probably. Did you know, new Amigas are ACTUALLY SHIPPING, right now? I mean.. actually fucking shipping... not just "in development", or "nearly ready", but actually shipping. Shame the new AmigaOS won't be out for a month or so, but.. officially i'm as happy as a bee in a thing that bees like being in. Woooo! Thats like... 8 years i've been waiting for that bastard.

# I saw a poll about
that on some newsgroup or other but just assumed it was some twat trolling and didn't read it. Lemme guess, it's v.expensive just like the Iyonix? (RISC OS machine, fact fans)

# Errrr... yes
but you can run AmigaOS native, LinuxPPC, and Mac OS X (although the latter is illegal, but it does work :)

Although, having researched the programs available for RiscOS and AmigaOS, AmigaOS is somewhat more useful, it having better internet apps, better art programs, etc. etc.

# Mac OS X
