I wouldn't mind having an A1200 again. So would a lot of people, probably. The thing is, what the hell would I do with it? Kind of pointless getting back into Amiga assembly or even Amiga Blitz coding. No market for games or applications whatsoever.
All in all, it would just be to play a few old games, a task for which WinUAE is far more suitable. WinUAE can emulate (almost entirely accurately, these days) any Amiga model, faster (on my Athlon 3700) than any Amiga ever ran. The fastest Motorola CPU which you could plug into an Amiga was the (FPU-less) 75MHz 68060. My mobile phone has more computing power.
I suppose there's no replacement for the kitcsh factor though ;)
