Re: Why you love your Amiga

It sucks away all my money and free time. Makes me frustrated by suddenly not doing what I want it to anymore and refusing to say why. Sometimes it just defies all logic - you know it should work, but it just doesn't!

Hmm, sounds kind of familiar...

But seriously, it's an obsession. When it works, it works really well.
I love the fact that I can take a motherboard which was built in 1990, add a few (albeit very expensive) components, some kickass software which installs from a double density floppy disk (sometimes two or three!) and all of a sudden I can surf the internet, view my desktop in 24-bit, write CDs (better than most PC software can), network to my PC, attach USB devices, modify photos, produce documents, use maths utilites, produce spreadsheets, etc, etc, etc. All that and a gazillion classic games to play too!

If only I could convince my employers to install an Amiga network instead of the current Windows one...
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Windows-free since 2011-2014 (Damn you Netflix!)
