A different point of view. The original post got me feeling all philosophical. Grin
Why?
Why do we need this validation? I'm OK with the rest of the world desiring a different computer solution than what I value. (Keeps the bugs out!)
Most of the ppl who log in here have many Amigas, enough to last beyond the next time/date bug. Our 1990s investment has also been updated with standards and technology that were unforseen when the machines were designed. They're still fantastic and the rest of the world is fickle, grin. Improvements, especially important ones, are still coming.
Also, most ppl here have other platforms for standards that are inconvenient on Amigas.
There are ppl who say (justifiably) that Amiga is dead. All my machines have a bright future. They have already lived far past many other younger machines. I'm not too far from content.
My 2 cents.
