You know they're selling the Amiga One now?  It's a Linux-based PC in a C64
case with a Cherry keyboard that has all of the Amiga and Commodore computer
ROMs available so you can switch between machines.  Really neat.

Sometimes newer isn't always better.  I know of several bands that use C64s
and Atari 1040STs as well as an Amiga or two simply because there is still
nothing that can match the capabilities of these machines.
