To me though, Amiga was all about creating things. There's software to cater for every need, I never got bored. Modern computing is more about consumption than creation,.
Not really true. Its all down to how a person uses a machine. There's a plethora of fantastic creative software for modern computers with features I could only dream about having on the Amiga.
A typical use of a modern machine may be more consumption based than in the Amiga's heyday, but that has nothing to do with the machines or their software.
I'd even argue that a modern machines makes it easier to be creative if a person is inclined.
