It was (and probably still is) the best personal computer EVER, bringing workstation functionality to common mortals since the '80s! The availability of software for the Amiga OS worries me a little though: apart from the old titles very little has been produced, and most titles are still in their alpha or beta releases. Using the hardware isn't a problem, of course. You can always rely on Linux for PPC (SuSe, Debian, Yellow Dog, and a few others) for productivity needs. A positive thing, no doubt, is the fact that developing and promoting Amiga systems keeps the PowerPC architecture alive, which in my opinion is far better than Intel's.
