Amiga 1200 in rack has arrived

Now it can be mounted in a data center.  Pretty neat, actually. Too bad C= didn't have the idea.

I like the small footprint it has. Personally, I don't like PC towers. Towers are too bulky, take too much room, and have too many wires. I had the A1200 because it was small. Too bad they never put the A1200 into the A500 case; then it could have had a CD drive and other options. An A500 case would be great these days because an LCD monitor could be place atop it and save some extra space. Less wires, too.

I've purchased all the Amos stuff I can get my hands on, loved that version of basic.

I ended up with BlitzBasic 2. It took me only 3-4 weeks to create an Intellivision Astrosmash clone while I was in college. Amos is good, too.

Yeah well Blitz Basic 2 looked a bit more complicated, more C based than Basic based when I first looked at it all those years ago.

I liked the C features of Blitz. Enabled me to use a single array rather than multidimentional arrays to store data. Easier for me to remember a object(1).x than object(1)(1) for variable 'x'.

Need to find a copy of Deluxe Paint V from somewhere, can't find it anywhere.  Another great program oh and Vista Pro, that was fantastic, I remember doing a video animation in TAFE of the Mars Mon Olympus with that and playing it on a TV, the teacher was amazed that I could generate such graphics on a home computer.

I always wanted Vista Pro, but I never got it. It was quite advanced for a personal computer when it was released.
