Title: Amiga, the exotic computer
Post by: aasmund on July 14, 2004, 07:21:08 PM

I cant remember hwen I found out about the new amiga but it was on a norwegian forum.
I remember commodore 64 and the amiga but I did not own it myselv. My 7 year older brother did. He was my rolemodel. He could beat up enybody including Arnold Swartzneger (spelling?) his car was fast and of corse, his computer, the Amiga was best! At least that was true :)

I was not so old so I dont have a 100% clear memory of the amiga. But of course I remember many games like Lotus2, black crypt, interceptor, lemmings, turboraketti, pinbal dreams and so on.

So the amiga for me is an exotic computer. Something,,, different. Now I cant wait to get a hold of A1 Micro A1, EVERYTHING that has to do with Amiga. OS4 looks good.
But I need the money.

I have also got my brother interested again. He was sick of the rumors so he dident want to hear about OS4/A1. But know he runs OS 3.9 with WinUAE :)

I have also made my personal website and amiga dominate the content.
In scool school projects I made Amiga poster, it was also shown at the end of the school, dont know what it`s called in english. Everybody in school gets together, parrents and so on. I have build my PC to look like an A500.
I also got myself an A500.

Sorry for my bad langue and long post, put I am so thrilled.

Amiga is BACK! :-D

I forgot my name; Åsmund Nordal from Norway. HW:A500

I've never seen another computer system that could touch the feeling of the Amiga.  I know that the Mac users may still be around and probably feeling much like us Amiga guys did back in the day, but you aren't going to beat the Amiga.  If only those fools didn't drive the company into the ground.  I remember my heart breaking when they announced bankruptcy.
