What was your Amiga moment?

My first machine was (and still is) a cpc 6128, quite blind buy back then as I knew nothing about computers.
Amiga was on magazines but didn't impressed me at all.
I went to a friends house who had an A500 and I saw and hear operation thunderbolt...
After changing my diapers I ran workbench and did some pointer changes.
Then DPaint nailed the coffin, I turned at him and said:
This computers was made for me.

You know, I think that is the best description of the Amiga I've ever heard.

It really did feel like it was made for me...for how I think. Probably for all of us. Though I enjoy Windows, Linux, and MacOS, I probably had the most fun with the Amiga.

I remember seeing the Miami Vice demo on the Amiga 1000 (playing the theme) and just being blown away with how good it sounded. Watching Flight Simulator for DOS in a window on the Amiga with Sidecar. King Tut in Dpaint probably sold a bunch of Amigas as well...

Well except for this we have something else in common, same avatar on youtube :-D

Of all the programs the Amiga had the only one I really miss on modern computers is Deluxe Paint. It was so amazingly intuitive that you could just sit down with it and go to work. I've used Photoshop for years but there are still features in Dpaint that I miss.

It was also a lot of fun to play with too. Color cycling, brushes, perspective drawing...just fun to use.

I keep hoping for a Kickstarter where somebody is recreating Deluxe Paint for modern computers.

-P

There is Promotion from cosmigo that it is almost DPaint.
