Ahh Nostalgia...
I dont see the Amiga (or any other platform) as separate from computer tech in general. I liked the Amiga and C64 a lot but when their time came I moved on to other things became familiar with those and continued to enjoy my hobby.
I understand why many people would look back on the C64 and Amiga (and other retro platforms) fondly:
-they were used primarily for fun/play,
-they were easy to learn,
-the hardware was less complex and understandable,
-there was friendship among owners,
-the video game scene was small and exclusive,
-personal computers were new and interesting.
It's not so much the hardware as the users that have changed, today computers are everywhere and most of us use them for work. After many years it's no wonder some of the wonder has faded.
