I bought an Amiga 2000 computer in 1988 and used it up to 2000. Was in "old and decrepit" if it served my purposes? No! I loved that thing and did everything I could to justify keeping it and not getting an Intel machine. The show stopper for me was that I wanted Broadband internet, and NICs for an Amiga were > $150, while there were < $20 for an Intel platform.

My point is, stop whining about the N800 being "old and decrepit" in one breath, then saying "I like the N800, it serves my purposes" in the next breath. As others have said, as long as there is a development platform for it, there will be people writing code for it (people STILL write code for the Amiga).
I was being sarcastic when said "old and decrepit". I was merely trying to make the point that they were moving on too soon, cutting the lifespan of the n800 substantially.
