Use to get it with the C64, even going to the local computer store and going through the games on sale.
Use to bike over to Milford, about 30-45 minute or so ride to the nearest Amiga store and look at all the new Amiga's on the shelf.
Miss purchasing Amiga mags and trying out cover disks. I remember a friend of mine giving my 100's of cover disks that was I good weekend. :-)
Amazing buzz swapping games on the weekend, and walking into a friends downstairs room full of 1000's **cough** pirated game disks and Amiga's humming away. He got caught when the copyright laws changed here though.
Anyway off topic, hopefully have some time tomorrow to give MorphOS another thrashing tomorrow. Will post how I get on.
I think the "buzz" you're talking about goes by another name "nostalgia".
Its like people who who prefer old cars. I have a 1999 Mercedes and a 2005 Mazda6. I like the styling of the Mercedes, and the solidity of the build. It was my dad's car and I have good mmeories about it. But every time I swap to the Mazda6 is obvious that its quicker, quieter, handles far better, uses less fuel, brakes better, is safer-this in car that cost 40% of the Mercedes (without accounting for inflation-might be about 25% in real terms).
We choose to ignore the limitations because they remind us of the good times, and the people of our past.
