Are there other user groups like us from the 80's that still hang on to our trusty old computers (not people that are collecting them but still using them), or are there lots of others out there like us?
Do you think that the Amiga is on a comeback?
I'd like to see Amiga make a comeback, but I sometimes wonder how this will materialize if new hardware doesn't come along.
I do find it amazing though, that we can hang on to this technology in a world where PCs are cycled faster than tp. That's remarkable in a way.
I tried purchasing a new AmigaOne but none were available at the time. My craving for such a machine is gone. I'll reconsider if they make new ones.
I like to tinker with classic Amigas, but truthfully, this is just a hobby for me. I have several other machines that run other OSs, which are good enough for my computing needs.
The reason I came back to Amiga was for hobbying. My first computer was a 2000 and so I remember the name, the colors, the sounds, the smell, the excitement... I could just as well have chosen home robotics as a hobby.
Maybe I should have chosen to collect something invisible, like germs. My wife doesn't seem to appreciate the yellowing Commodore parts lingering in the dining room.
