Re: Back to the Amiga

What is wrong with hankering back to your past?  Every time I fire up an Amiga or UAE it's 1989 again and I can feel the heady days of computing, the days before computers were just another tool that everybody has and uses.  Modern computing is fast and efficient, but retro is fun.  You've got dodgy equipment pushed to the max and an unforgiving OS, let one program crash and you're visited by the guru.  Floppy drives that wouldn't hold a single song actually holding programs and data or a neat demo.

The past is a great place to visit!

I've got a burning interest in getting back to the Amiga. I was an Amiga 1200 user many years ago and enjoyed the delights of fast Cad drawings, desktop publishing and just pure fun.
 
I'm looking at all the options and was wondering if I'm just hankering back to my past or is there a real bonus in using an Amiga today.

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.
