Indeed, there are already two users in my usergroup who's only comment on
AmigActive is "why do they use give so much space to the new amiga?".
I can see their point, they see AmigActive as the last[est] Classic Mag. The
new Amiga will be a new platform, so there will be new mags specifically for
that.
But on the other hand, I would like a page or two each issue relating to the
NG machine, until it arrives.

I see a lot of future in the Classic Amiga, but only in the same way I see a
future in my two Commodore 64's - retro enthusiasts keeping them alive. The
Amiga is almost unique, having true retro characteristics while at the same
time able to hold it's own in today's computer world. The only platform in a
similar position is the Acorn.
Carpe Diem,
