I think those who try yo replicate the Amiga in 2014 and has any rate of success understand that to a greater extent than most of us. I am glad that I have my A1200, but emulation is getting really good, and is more or less the most comprehensive and accessible documentation of the hardware we have.

As someone who didn't really grow up with computers like the C64, VIC-20 and MSX line, I have certainly had a lot of fun developing for these platforms unencumbered by any innate sense of nostalgia.
