I understand you too!  It's hard to explain I use computers every day that run rings around what an Amiga could do, but I find myself flicking on the old 3000 and remembering when doing things that were magic wasn't so much like work.  I think it's a bit like when you are writing a paper, word processing has become so fancy that you have to get exactly the right font, paragraph style, every mechanical thing correct that you can't enjoy the writing anymore.

And I don't get impressed anymore, I remember the astonishment at the Amiga demos, nobody had been there before, they were pushing technology.  Now technology has become so advanced that you might be able to nudge it a little bit once in a great while, but push?  FOrget about it.

Computers today are nothing but tools.  You can't really love them.  And there's no way back.
