- In a way: yes. Point is that i'm fed up being chained to a hardware
- platform. Don't get me wrong I'm an Amiga user since the first 500's
- hit the streets here (wanted a 1000 but couldn't afford) and I still
- love my 2000. There are a lot of interesting things going on outside
- the Amiga world.
- This is what I want:
-
- CHRP hardware on which I can use: AmigaOS/Linux/OS2/BeOS (maybe MacOS)
- CHEAP cards (not the highpriced Amiga ones )

- ..I love the specs of those Boxes). If I wanted a PMac I would have bought
- one years ago.
