   Well, I am reading here, and I use one for quite some time now. I   
   dislike that scrolling is slow, and that there are still compatibility   
   issues with some important applications like Calamus and such stuff, as   
   well as most audio programs. What I like is that it feels more and more   
   like a "everyday computer". Troll for example is the fastest possibility   
   for me to check all my mailboxes. As well the already working ports   
   pushed me to a new way of connectivity. USB-Sticks, CF-Cards, SD-Cards,   
   FireTOS network and all that stuff make my "Atari Usage" useful for   
   everyday live, compared to my Hades, which "onky" has network and   
   floppy. And what I like most is that many many improvements can be done   
   by software and configs for the FPGA. So we will see some hardware   
   updates by simple "firmware flashings".   
      
   But as I am involved in producing it, perhaps some "pure users" should   
   tell about their experiances. ;)
