Think it is the same as asking someone who restores classic cars and collects them, why? Just like them for one it is memories, back to the "good ole days" of sorts. Second it is the fun of restoring (sometimes) old hardware, but also there are a ton of great software out there and the true multi-tasking is still something that a lot of computers lack still. These computers still can serve a multitude of uses today like word processing, video editing/creation, music creation, game/entertainment. Now days seems the fun factor of games takes a backside to its looks/graphics and original ideas for most are pretty much non-existent. I think also there is a huge sense of pride in the users of Amiga's as we were on the cutting edge of computing that shaped computers into what they are today. Desktop publishing for instance was one factor, online gameplay of sorts (multiplayer across a modem like Firepower or Falcon), 3D graphics and gameplay, music creation versus the clicks and pops of current PCs of the day, video production (Toaster, DCTV ect). The Amiga helped to open the door to what has evolved to standards today and in some peoples opinion still can produce some beautiful results in comparison. Retro Computing is about the love and history of computers, supporting the ideas from the past that built a future and keeping the original love and feeling alive that we felt when we younger and at the forefront of technology!
