Amiga's place in the modern computing world - 00s
« on: June 08, 2008, 02:51:32 PM »
In my day to day work, we use 90% Macs (in the graphics field) and 10% PCs for administrative things. In the weekend, I use the PC, Wii, and Mac for web surfing games and other fun things.

The Amiga (Well I have an emulator) on the other hand, I use it for playing Amiga Games and testing out Amiga software packages. As a result, playing on an Amiga (whether emulation or real hardware) is more fun and gives that Hobbyist feeling compared to a PC or Mac.

I mean by hobbyist is that there is more tinkering and a close knit community than the spread out markets of PC/Mac. It seems that Linux is a too geeky hobby. But the Amiga and c64 scene, seems very cool compared to linux.

Is Amiga becoming the computer platform for the hobbyist?
It is still very much alive today.

Picture this: If Amiga were in the Mac/PC Commercial

PC = PC Guy in Suit
Mac = Mac Guy Cool.
Amiga = Tattoed Skat3r Guy
WinUAE enthusiast.

Curious about: Amiga OS, Morph OS, X-Amiga, Amikit, Amiga Forever, WinUAE, Efika, Minimig,
and other forms Amiga-like Computers.
