...and you never ask yourself why? Why AmigaOS is the only OS you enjoyed coding/using/playing around with?

C'mon, there are several other flavor of OSes out there, that you can do everything you did with an Amiga and much more....

Wouldn't you call that... nostalgia?

I'm also a late starter (got my first Amiga about 6 years ago).   I'd still call my interest nostalgia even though I never had one back-in-the-day.   I guess what interests me is that fact that it was so good in it's day (I really wanted one), it's also because it should have been so much more than it was and finally it's the fact that there is still so much interest in it.   If it wasn't for the fact that I stumbled across active Amiga forums 6 years ago I never would have thought about buying one for the first time :)

This is about the fourth time in only a few months that someone I know has asked this question.
And the answer is a clear yes.
Autistic, mentally unbalanced, etc.


Yep there are certainly some very 'interesting' people involved in the scene, of course I'm almost 100% sane and a perfectly normal member of society.

Doesn't answer the question, if a machine can be sentient? ;)


Aren't we just sophisticated machines?

If so then the answer is yes :)
