I've only been an Amiga user since 2007 and sometimes I feel like this!

So far I've kept coming back for more, though.

I'm sure you've probably explained this before (so feel free to just post a link to the post), but what got you into it in 2007?


I think I might've a long ways back, but a quick search doesn't find anything but a one liner from me on the subject.

Basically I started out on a C64 in the mid-80s like so many others, so the names Commodore (and Amiga, from screenshots on gameboxes) were names I saw early.  Eventually in the 90's I got into IT as a career (still doing it today, as well,) and a couple of years ago I was pretty bored with all things computer when I suddenly had the inspiration to check Craigslist for retro stuff.  First item I saw was an Amiga 500+, figured I'd seen enough screenshots of the games and would finally see an Amiga in person.  Messing around with the previously unknown to me hardware and OS kind of got me reinterested in computers in general, it was a good feeling, so I kept right on playing with Amigas (and plenty of other old machines, though Amiga seems to be the only one that stuck.)

I guess you missed when Franko donated something like 20 or 30 1-year Amiga.org membership fees for a contest a couple of months ago.
