I did love my Amiga though, shame the bad management at Commodore f'd it up.

An apt comparison! Thank you! I think the similarity, really, with Commodore Amiga is the aging and stubborn fanboi crowd that continues to argue that their platform is still relevant and superior while the rest of the world has moved on and progressed.

For the record, I still have my old Amiga. And my Atari ST and STe's. Hell, I still have a Commodore 64 and a Commodore 64C and an Atari 800XL, 130XE, 1200XL, Atari XE Game System, etc.. etc.

Don't really give a flying F what KIng NokNob has to say on Friday, I'm happy with my N900. His burning platform ain't scorching my goods!

I both love progress, and I love the well designed classics. The N900 is neither. Sorry, but it's true.
