This is very interesting news indeed, something that no other previous
owner of the Amiga name has done. Obviously, I will wait to see what
the costs will be, but I wouldn`t look to it as an investment, rather
a way to further fund development on an alternative platform to
Winblows and Yac OS9. :) - A platform that I prefer. Like anything in
life, you have to pay for what you want, nothing in life (apart from
the air) is free. Same with taxes, if you don't pay them you don`t get
any public services. Same thing with the Amiga....

I am really pleased that there will be an OS3.9 however, it will have
to be an all bells and whistles update before I consider the upgrade.
- As far as I am concerned, with the AmigaOne just around the corner,
I really can't see the point in upgrading to OS3.9 for the foreseable
future.

I have got a towered A1200 which suffers from overheating problems and
leads to the occasional crash. Add to that all the hacks that run on a
system it wasn't designed for and I for one can't wait to start on a
new "clean" computer.
