Dave I teach at an engineering school we have an electronics program, mostly avionics and mechatronics stuff. They are doing some FPGA stuff so I brought in the MiniMIG fully loaded with WHLOAD, deluxe paint, ImageFX, basically a copy of the hard drive image I had from back in the day from my A2000

The students were impressed with what the system could do compared to what else was around at the time. They still remember windows 95 lol...They liked the speed and stability of the Amiga OS mutitasking the pull down screens, etc. The multitasking was the miost impressive stuff when the realizes how much ram was involved. Even the prof was impressed and he does a lot of NASA work.

There is interest in doing a video game cosole dev course because of this demo so the Amiga continues to inspire.
