Well I guess you could substitute C programming for beer. The first few months might be kind of rough.

Amiga OS 4 a dead end.. its all dead... How depressing.

I don't think so. Amiga failed to "take over the world," but it still remains an interesting hobby. There are so many different ways to enjoy it: original hardware, emulation, AROS, AmigaOne, etc. And the concepts that Amiga pioneered remain, and can be implemented again. It all seems good to me.

Let me reinstate the importance of the PI and not any other ARM platform: the VideoCore IV documentation is still (somehow) available online. It's probably the only platform where you'd be able to code "down to the metal" the graphics stack in a good old amiga style.

Yes, that's why I'm much more interested in RPi than the more powerful boards from Odroid. Mali graphics remain closed, and that's a real problem.

there is a public download which requires no registration.

I did see that, but it seems very old -- 2012 I think?
