"Old Timer" I started out on a Commodore Vic=20 and went to the C=64 and then read all about the Amiga 1000 in magazines for a good while until the A2000 came out. I got an A2000 my senior year in High School in 1989 with a 8088 Bridegboard for compiling Pascal for my CIS college classes.

After that I upgraded and tweaked my A2000 for years and ended up selling her to get one of the first few hundred A4000/030s to make it to US shores at the Amiga show in NYC. I carried that computer from the docks in NYC back to Grand Central Station with my new A386 bridgeboard in tow.

I really miss the innovation and unique home brew styling that Commodore brought to all its projects. That free-wheeling spirit where engineers seemed to be able to dream bigger rather than being a part of a big corporate cog. Not that Commodore didn't also have it's politics as I'm sure Dave Haynie can elaborate on.

I for one would welcome someone coming out with new hardware that was AGA compatible and simply gave me a reliable hardware platform to run my old software on. Though I do keep watching the new RISC bases motherboards hoping that one will be inexpensive enough for me to get into the latest AmigaOS on modern hardware. It's just a hobby to me and not a daily driver so it's hard for me to justify too much expenditure at this point.

Anyway, there's my book. 8^D
I think, Therefore - Amiga....
