I remember a friend telling me about this super new computer - that was 20 years ago!

To think it's all been through...
Good times:python:  :-D  :banana:  (http://www.blachford.info/pics/Banana.gif)
Fustration   :huh:  :getmad:  :rtfm:
Bad times :ranting:
Games   :quickdraw:
Waiting   :nervous:
Fights   :flame:  :destroy:

But it still goes on in some form or another, one name or another.
The spirit continues in many other platforms now, how many cannot say they've been influenced by the Amiga?

I met quite a few good friends through the Amiga, it's got me jobs, inspired me and who knows what else...


Happy Birthday old girl.

20 years ago?

I was a junior in high school working for my local Amiga dealer.. What a time.. The machine was like nothing on earth, they were actually up there mixing video and computer graphics and it wasn't a $20,000 machine and they were actually making art.. The Great Andy Warhol and Blondie, had just shown us a revolution. Wow this looks like the Mac but it has color and extra processors.. I can't believe this that I am actually allowed to even see this. Gosh could I actually own one of these? I could afford $1295.. It's so stylish, there will be so much productivity software, the machine is so ahead.. Apple and IBM aren't gonna compete.. Wow Lotus 1-2-3 is coming out.. Okay Textcraft looks cool but where are the fonts and graphics insert.. Musicraft wow.. It sounds like a real piano.. Oh it just crashed, no wait it's a demo "Amiga Fireworks MODE"...

Wow, what can happen in 20 years...

To mark the 20th anniversary we should demand a XOOPs BOING! message icon and smiley.

Maybe a smiling Petro Tyschtenko or a smiley with a Jay Miner beard and hawaiian shirt.

:-D

I remember fondly Spaceballs:State of the Art demo, printing stuff from Deluxe Paint and downloading a seamingly endless supply of PD games off Aminet!

Come to think of it, how old is Aminet now?
