The CABS group on the internet are the results of marketing research
 done by myself.
 CABS stands for Commodore Amiga Business Support
With the question: "Is there are a market for the Amiga?" 
The answer is "Yes!"

There are 3 markets i know on this moment:

Young children (boys and girls) from at least 6 years and up.
Teenagers, especially Teenager Girls and Young adult women 
( for the use the new Amiga in designing and presentation ).
The industry : As easy to program computer as micro-controller and 
(industrial)robot controller.
Even as black box and control computer for a whole lot of vehicles. 
The existing Amiga Market. All those people who already own an 
(classic)Amiga.
 
With this knowledge there are a few concepts
thinkable:

A New release of better and bugfree as possible hardware and software
 for the existing CBM Amiga's.
But also new diskdrives, keyboards, mice and mainboards, PSU's. 
And new Custom Processors. 
( better shielded against electrostatical discharges. )

There are maybe a quarter of a million of all Amiga's still in use.
So this is also a market. And a big one.


New kind of Amiga's; related to results of the market research.

The Amiga Surviver; which looks like an Amiga 500, but is 32 bits wide 
on 100 Mhz and it becomes its own energy from fuel cells and solar cells.
 ( For the kiddo's and teenagers. )

The Amiga BlueGene: Which looks like a rackmounted device running on 
8 RISC IBM BlueGene PowerPC CPU's.
For the industry.
Running on IBM JAVA but with Amiga O.S. 3.1 or an improved version of it.

For only in the Dutch market; i live in the Netherlands; i have to sell at
least 150,000 new Amiga machines to this new consumer markets.
I do not know how many Amiga's are needed for the international Market.

I need your imaginairy skills.

Imagine an Amiga 500 in Animal Print, with chrome details. 
With a Chrome Trackball as mouse in the keyboard.
With an SVHS PAL / NTSC LCD screen.
For the Youth, with interfaces on the top of the Amiga for your mobile
 telephone. 
 For to upload your own home made ringtones, music, animations and designs.
But also with built-in Genlock and Video Encoder.
With seperated (digital and analogue) SVHS and SVGA output. Via SCART, 
YUV-SVHS bus and SVGA or digital SVGA connectors.
With (VHS-CVBS) video input with 32 bits 100 Mhz Video digitizer. ( DSP logic )
Here you can clean up your old and messy VCR tapes. 
And safe the video data in SVHS or MPEG4 to a DVD recorder.
With the Video input there are also connectors for audio Cinch inputs and audio XLR.
And with MIDI In/Out and Thru...( Studio equipment compatible )
Raw audio data can be digitized via the same video digitizer.
You can control MIDI instruments with the Amiga.

For to work with the Amiga you have to feed the machine 100 ml of water 
for 30 houres of labour!!!
Place the Amiga in the sun for extra electric energy.

The Hardware, O.S. and AmigaDOS software must be to understand by kids at the age of 6.

The next machine:

Imagine a black rackmounted Amiga with chrome or black handle bars. 
The casing made of Dural. Its an alloy metal which is used for airframes and car engine
blocks. It has the strength of steel but it is 6 times ligther then steel.
On the front you have fast access buttons. ( F1 to F12 )
For to chose a program. ( The button flashes if a program is selected.) There is no screen. 
There are video YUV/Cinch/BNC and svga ports on the back of the machine.
If you attach a screen via the ports, the selected program will be graphical
displayed, including graphical information of the controlled hardware.
The CBM Amiga BlueGene can be started simultaneously with the rest of the controlled hardware. 

On the front there is a extra power button. Made of heavy Chrome.
If you switch the machine on then you hear "Boing!"
Handwritten trade mark in Blue LEDS lignes are showing in the Black "CBM Amiga 
BlueGene".
On the front there are 8 multicoloured LEDS for every RISC CPU.  
( Green = CPU is ON. Yellow = CPU is DEFECTIVE but working, 
RED = CPU is DEFECTIVE and NOT working. 
If the led is OFF, then the CPU is OFF(LINE). ) 

If all is OK then the Amiga purrs like a cat. If something is wrong with the 
Amiga then the machine starts to miaow.
If something  is wrong with the controlled hardware by the Amiga, by example a 
vehicle or robot, then the Amiga starts to bark like a big dog.

In the backside of the rackmount Amiga there are the interfaces but also a special switch. 
For 2 modes: MODERN, for new systems after 1980, and CLASSIC, for systems between 1900 and 1980.
Within this Amiga there is a power controller.
That means you can connect the Amiga to AC and DC PSU's from 9 Volts up to 400 Volts. AC/DC

On the top of the rackmounted Amiga there are some optical and electrical ports.
And some ports for program FlashROM cards. Which can be installed via a internal cardreader. 
All is behind the dural doors.
If you want to expand the BlueGene with other Bluegene machines simply install
them into a tower. There are NO CABLES between the Amiga's.
Data transfer lines are pure optical. For a high data Ethernet.

And again children with the age of 6 must control and work with this Amiga.

Please keep the interfaces simple!!!

These concepts are related to what the market wants.
