Hey everyone!
Been thinking about this for a few days now - recently I've been tinkering with my current phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) - not an all-singing, all-dancing handset by any means, in fact in its original Gingerbread configuration it was pretty slow and dull - but with some research and tinkering I've gotten AOSP Jellybean on there + Link2SD to boost the number of apps I can install and y'know - it's like a brand new phone - gave me a real appreciation of the hardware which whilst limited, can still surprise if you're prepared to invest some time into getting the best out of it.
This got me thinking of my old A4000 which had all kinds of expansions hanging off of it, plus a version of Amiga OS 3.9 which I'd painstakingly optimized - something I simple don't have the incentive to do with my Windows 8 PC (or with many other devices I've owned over the years).
The only other device I've owned that gave me that 'Amiga feel' was another phone - the Nokia 7650 which for its time was an amazing handset - so many cool things you could do with it - I even used the 7650's infrared to region-unlock my (old) standalone DVD-Recorder.
I guess I should note that in the years since the demise of the Amiga, I've had different phones (including several iPhones), consoles, Apple/MS laptops, desktops etc. and yet for me, in all this time, only those two devices gave me that feeling.
So what neat things do you have/have had that give you that same sense of curiosity and appreciation that the Amiga did? 
I would say the Atari 1200 was the closest thing I used to the Amiga, way better than those sorry Mac machines. The next thing that reminds most of an Amiga is the Radio Shack cocoa. This machine had a lot of class plus it had color, not like those expensive Macs that had a black and white screen, can not see how anyone can ever like a Mac, but then again some people just don't know about computers and who is giving you the best deals. Can you believe that in this day an age people are still praising the ancient PPC machines. I would rather use a 8088 with DOS then a PPC Mac, because all the Mac said to me is "How slow can you go"
