Restoring and maintaining old cars actually has a purpose to it. I could
argue that older cars are better built, easier to maintain, and just plain
look nicer. It's hard to argue something like that for an Amiga, though. If
you just like retro-gaming, though, I can see the point.

 Ni> There was another alternate OS in the 90s that was being developed
 Ni> called BeOS. It originally started out on PowerPC hardware, I think, and

BeOS wasn't a great OS, but it had a lot of good points going for it. If
you're of a gearhead bent and like the nitty-gritty details, there's a book
by the guy who designed the file system for BeOS out there that's
phenomenal.. like basically required reading if you ever want to write your
own file system for a custom OS (or for FUSE or something).
