So part of my resolution: Treat amiga as its own beast
« on: January 02, 2011, 09:08:36 PM »
The AGA threads kind of made me realize something:
 
I am going to try very hard to no longer view the amiga in comparison to other machines (PC's and Mac's at the time being the usual).
 
It's all pointless today, and we can all get lost in what could have been, never was and should have been done.
 
 
Starting today, the amiga, for me, will stand alone, on its own merits.
 
Whether AGA is better or worse than VGA is not important. Whether it should have had an HD floppy drive is irrelevant.
 
What matters is what the amiga can do, and what its makers chose to do with it.
And that will be my mantra for the year :)
 
 
Cheers!
Ivan

I meant to add... what matters most is what WE decide to do with it

@runequester,
 
Well said...
 
Could 2001 be the year of common-sense? :-)
 
Mike.

Not sure about 2001, but I'll do my damnedest that 2011 will be :)
 
 
Sorry man, that shot was so cheap I had to take it

So, the Amiga only experience starts now? Are you going to blog it on here?
I had hoped a new browser would be about in time for you...
Does running mac stuff on your miggy count as cheating?
 
Anyway, goodluck dude!

It will not start 100% (and I need some web access for work that I'll need my linux box for) since I dont have a wireless card yet. But I am gearing up to start it for real within the next few days, as I am gathering up some manuals and other stuff :)
 
No mac stuff for me. No hate for apple or anything, just don't fit in my plans :)
 
 
I'll aim to do the blog on a weekly basis as I have new experiences. Not sure if all the posts will be long or not, but that's okay.
