(not Apple or C64)... LOL! Are people that clueless about the Amiga? Guess when PeeCee mags show the history of computing and conveniently omit the Amiga, little wonder. Your parenthesis though reminded me of somebody's ePay ad that was trying to get a little more free exposure. lol
Those vids are great - thanks for posting and keeping the Amiga in peoples thoughts!
And speaking of that... gotta tell you about this phenomenon I've witnessed lately. Since there *IS* and has been a lot of misinformation and bias out there (some bias is good), it's kind of created this sub culture of computing nubiles that are totally enamored with the Amiga. As they accidentally stumble upon it that is. The other day, I had a guy from his mid 20's that lived a couple of towns over come by and pick up some Atari Jaguar games he had seen me advertise off of Craigslist. We're in my classic computer and console gaming cave when he spies a boxed A1000 and my A2500. Guy literally shat himself. You should have seen and heard his reaction: "Man, you've even got Amiga!"... lol He went on to describe how he's heard of the machines and their reputation, but has never seen one firsthand. Needless to say, ended up giving him a few demos (one was the original NewTek Demo from '87) and he couldn't believe how friggin' quick the A2500 is at managing/booting programs. So... to a younger guy and a modern gamer, "stuck" with modern PC crap or fancy consoles, this Amiga stuff was "'da bomb" to him. I'm sure I'll end up selling him an Amiga one of these days as it's always nice to recruit locally. He's already asked a few times if I'd be willing to sell any of my stuff...
