Hi,
Just found this forum while looking for MP3 remixes of some tunes I grew to love during my time with an Amiga, two of which I still own...
I'm a thirty-something. Was introduced to the Amiga when the Amiga A500 with Kickstart 1.2 came out. After that I learnt to code, joined a couple "scene" groups, released some software, made some great friends along the way and had some of my most memorable moments at gatherings.
I'm glad I was a part of that scene.
If a new Amiga was to be released it'd scare me immensely.
The Amiga has a cult following, much like the Commodore 64. There are many sites showing how great the Amiga was and still is. You can tell by the number of users who proudly exclaim their work on remixing the music, remixing the graphics or what-not.
When I got my PC the first thing I did was transfer all of my floppy disks and the contents of my hard drive (1.4GB took some time!) onto the PC and burnt it onto a CD-ROM. In some cases I had to write software myself to read the trackdos disks and write them to a file.
I bet everyone has a favourite film from when they were younger, I have. Kign Arthur and the Spaceman. I saw it recently and my childhood dreams of the film were shattered. I wish I never watched it again, instead keeping what I remembered of the film untouched.
The same goes for the Amiga. I've had so much pleasure from the machine and so many great memories that have been brought to me from using it that personally I want to keep those memories like they are... gold dust.
