Bon Anniversaire from France!
For those attending please ask questions about what would have been the OS b/c all questions are either about HW or 3.1 and lower versions of the OS.
What they would do now to move the OS forward if even possible.

there's a ton of media coverage noting the 30th birthday of our favorite computer, some of which also mentions the amiga 30th anniversary show this weekend in mountain view, california. here's a few i've found:

glad to see some mainstream coverage on the (actual) amiga for a change. here's what i posted over at intuitionbase.com (http://www.intuitionbase.com):

                  Since the announcement of the original Amiga at the  Lincoln Center in New York back in 1985, thirty years have now passed.  Time has flown by, and yet there are still so many enthusiasts of the  platform, its hardware, its follow-ons, and its derivatives. It has  lived on throughout the years despite what should have been the end in  1994 with the death of Commodore. And amidst all of the in-fighting, the  scams, the noise, and the drama, there still exist thousands of us,  still having fun on what we all know to be the most enjoyable computing  platform alive.

This weekend will see a spectacular celebration of thirty years of the  Amiga platform at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View,  California. Nearly all the major players from the 1980s will be there,  along with tons of classic and next-generation hardware, software, and  kitsch collected over the decades. If you haven't decided to go, there's  still time. It's going to be amazing. But today make sure to take a moment  as the Amiga begins its thirtieth year just to pause and enjoy what you  have, be it a 1200, a 4000, a SAM, a X1000, or whatever. Give it a hug.  For whichever machine through which you keep the flame alive, to quote  A-EON's Trevor Dickinson: 'let's keep this party going.' Here's to the  next decade of Amiga computing!

nice little article from the register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/24/amiga_turns_30/) just posted. they managed to get the boot in, too, to the macintosh of the time:

By comparison, Apple's Macintosh computers didn't introduce color  support until two years later, and pre-emptive multitasking wouldn't  arrive for the Mac until OS X in 2000.
heh. ;)

Happy birthday Amiga!

Thanks for all the memories. Thanks to all those who created such a special machine, such special software, and such a special community. And special thanks to those who even today do their best to forge a future for our various flavours of Amiga.

Amiga, your star didn't shine as bright as it should, but you touched this guys life and you were the winner in my eyes.
