Please don't suggest that the left Amigans are all fanatics as that's not very nice. Most of us also use mainstream systems, but we still like many things better about the old Amiga platform. For many people it is currently mainly a hobby they love to support. I believe if it is OK to love old cars, collect coins, etc, it should be OK to have the Amiga as a hobby!

There are so many different things people like about the platform, I will just list a few keyterms many people associate with AmigaOS: Efficient, small footprint, flexible, customizable, speedy pre-emptive multitasking multimedia OS. :-)
