Reading about those years reminds me of the feeling of using a well thought out computer.
Even now I am not sure of what made the Amiga feel so good, probably lots of things. I think the main thing was that the Amiga seemed to change with the applications on different screens. I mean, when in DPaint I felt like the the computer was an artist painting tool and when in Lightwave it was dedicated to 3d.
I really enjoyed how the Amiga felt it was made for me personally.
I use an iBook and while it is fantastic it remains an Apple machine at all times and so I feel it is not fully mine.
Cheers
