or maybe not

@Inachu

"Amiga set the standards back then and who knows maybe they can up the ante again."

No they really won't. It's a different world now. There is no way you can compete with wintel, apple & linux hegemony.

babylon 5 common Amiga misconception

@Anonymous Coward

"They did the graphics for Bablyon5 on an Amiga."

Actually only for the pilot. Anything beyond that were rendered on a PC rendering farm.

amigaos for Mac

@Bruno Girin

"does it mean that I could run AmigaOS on my PowerMac G5?"

No it doesn't. They want you to buy their £1500 custom board instead.

MorphOS ( http://www.morphos-team.net/ ) runs on some PowerPC Macs (mini, emac), and does run amiga software out of the box as well. Here's the list of the compatible hardware: http://www.morphos-team.net/hardware.html

demoscene likes original amigas

@Red 2

"Can't wait to see the first few new demoscene releases made for this beauty!"

I'm afraid you won't see many of those. The reason being that the amiga scene is very fixed on the original Commodore Amiga, not the new next generation stuff. The old amigas set a nice challenge and are very uniform hardware wise, and are thus attractive for the demo coders to target.
