What is the meaning of AMIGA..?

The name still evokes some fondness.  

But its more like nostalgia for that time in the computer world, rather than a desire for the physical machine.

In truth, I owned several Amigas and ultimately became bored with them all and moved on to other machines.  Now, I'm happy to remember "Amiga" as an interesting episode in computer history.

Out of curiosity, whats the chronological order of the machines you have moved from?

For me it was:
Vic 20-> c64-> Amiga 1000-> 386DX/25-> 133MHz Pentium-> 300MHz p2-> 1GHz athlon-> 2GHz Celeron-> 3Ghz p4

and thats from '85 to present. I'm curious because moving from the machines between the vic-20 and the 133MHz pentium was lots of fun and really exciting. THe programs I wrote would run way faster on each new machine, more colors, better resolutions, etc. BUt after the 300MHz p2, stuff just got evolutional progress and hasn't been all that exciting since.  

Agree +1.

I guess thats where the nostalgia for the 80-90's comes from.  The hardware was interesting, evolving, pushing technology.  Sometimes there'd be a game or demo that would really push the hardware and force you to reassess your understanding of the machine's ability, (esp' true for C64 and A500 for me).

C64-> A500-> 386/sx-> AMDK6/350 & A1200/030-> Athlon2000-> Q6600.
