Just pondering...
Is the Amiga 20 yet? I want an excuse for birthday cake, and I was hoping that this anniversary was close.
Haven't heard much about it, but the Amiga shars its 20th birthday with some other institutions- Neighbours, the Minardi F1 team (who know plenty about surviving in difficult times) and last and leastly, me. :-D
-
Hmm,
if you take the offical presentation at the Lincoln Center - that was on July 23rd - just four weeks to go.
Of course the Amiga existed before that date but which landmark was her birth? Lorraine working? Tape out of chipset? Kickstart 1.0? I think the premiere is the best date to celebrate. :-)

Have a cake anyway :-)

Have a cake anyway
and eat it too!

but before eating don't forget to throw it at some nice girl :-D

Hmm, "justintime.com".. I wonder if that JIT has something to do with WinUAE, or with Petunia from Os4 :-)
BTW on July 23rd I'll have my cake for Amiga, too!

@ Blobzie
I would have loved that fire-engine cake as a kid...or maybe the pirate ship.
I'll never forget my 4th birthday. I had a really nice Humpty-Dumpty cake, with a blue wall and a frosted Humpty on top. I was looking forward to eating Humpty himself but a bigger kid (about 6 years old) snatched the Humpty off the cake and gobbled it quickly. I cried bigtime because that cake had been specially made and I knew I would never see a Humpty-Dumpty again. What made things worse was everyone saying 'Don't worry, it was only made of icing, it is not as good as the cake'
What a pig that other kid was, that was MY cake, dammit, and I never did see a Humpty on a cake again :-(

Ahhh, it all falls into place now. That's where your gun fascination started! ;-)

@ mdma
Well, to be honest, at that time I would have settled for anything that would have got me my Humpty back...by fair means or foul. These days I'm much more placid though.
-
Hrrrm, it'd be nice to go to another Amiga show like WOA back in '98.
I think if 23rd July 2005 is the 20th birthday I'll register at least
one of my PD programs.
;-)
What is a 20th Anniversary anyway, diamond?

@X-ray
I wonder what became of the little {bleep}?

"...I wonder what became of the little {bleep}?..."
---------------------------------------------------------
Well, over the years I have mellowed with regards to incidents of nefarious qualities such as little sumbishes stealing Humpties off cakes, but I think at one time I visualised the little f**ker sliding down a razor-blade and using his balls as brakes...

I perfectly know that Petunia is a JIT compiler ;-)
I was actually referring to the cake recipe's site name mentioned before.
