Man I miss my Amiga...

Computing these days just doesn't seem as fun. Windows PC's have no personality. My iMac is nice, but sometimes I wish I had my A500 and A1200 back. Heck, my one regret is I never got to own my dream machine...an A4000. Memories...

You can buy my A4000 for 200 euro if you want?

Hmmm...tempting. All the ones on eBay are usually going for a ton. I've been waiting to see if the Natami ever gets released but it's looking more and more like vaporware.

I think I miss the camaraderie as well. I used to love going to users group meetings back when I was in college. There's just nothing like that these days. The worst thing that ever happened was Windows killing off everything.

I think I'm just feeling nostalgic since I turned 40 a few months ago. Maybe I'll pick up an A4000 one of these days just to play around with and relive the old days.

I like UAE     and freebsd can be fun too

I've tried UAE a few times but it just seemed like there was something...missing. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I've actually ran about every operating system under the sun at one time or another including DOS, Windows, Beos, freebsd, and various flavors of Linux. I like to tinker.

Have you tried AROS? (http://www.aros.org)

I actually played with the livecd and was impressed. I think a Natami with a 68k version of AROS would make a nice machine.

I hope you tried the icaros distro and not one of the nighly builds :-)....

Yep, it was icaros.

I remember dialing in to local BBS's with my trusty 1200 baud modem and my A1200. Of course, I also remember using my college's network to get on the internet back before the world of web browsers even existed. This was around 1990.

I installed winuae last night on my MAME cabinet and played a few of the classics. Lemmings is still quite possibly the most enjoyable and original game I've ever played.

lol Most guys think about owning a Corvette when they hit the middle ages...
 
Recently pulled the ol' C=64 system out of the storage room and set it up.
Just to remember what it was like way back when...

LOL!

With a wife and a two year old son, there won't be any Corvettes any time soon. Besides, I'm saving that for my 50's.
