   maybe amiga.com dreams 2 ? :)   
      
   but sure the games are fun, even on a old a500, i still have it working, just   
   need to get a hold of a arcnet card so miami can do its work to my linux box,   
   i have 4 arcnet cards for amiga 500, still working :)   
      
   and 3 arcnet for z2 slot, and lastly a a2065, networking is fun with miamidx

   well if i have had the money, i will sure doit, but i field i have done a good   
   job at keep the spirit of amiga programs alive, when the pay back time comes i   
   still like the amiga for being the best computer ever maked, its best os and   
   got more power out of 7 mhz cpu ever one can dream on

   amiga lives, just not the current hardware and or plans for new hardware, as   
   long as there exists cheapper intels there wont be amiga, but i would like to   
   have Unix Amiga Emulator up in some time, just to see some cdroms working on   
   the games therein
