It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

Yeah, there are no more Amiga machines being made these days, unless you count the very niche PPC-based AmigaOne motherboard, for which the Amiga OS 4.0 is being made. I think they missed out--they should have gone AMD64, and rewritten the OS so it resided on an exokernel (they could've had full backward compatability).
Ah well. On to MAC or Linux or elsewhere (anything but Windows). Seems more and more OSes are popping up, as possible new experiences.
