That's unfair!  :boohoo:

I knew about the Amiga, but at home we already had a PC (with a 386 and VGA, badass back in 1988). It was not my choice, and neither my parents', because it was a PC from my dad's work. He allowed me to play games on it. Games, despite even being VGA, which were inferior to the Amiga equals. I saved money and bought a sound card to get something like an Amiga myself. But all along I wanted an Amiga. The whole vibe, I loved house music and it was being made on the Amiga, I loved games and it was best being played on the Amiga, I loved it all, but I was not an Amigan  :cry:
I've got a lot to compensate :-D

I dare not talk to the missus about it though, she would see it as competition or as a threat.

My wife just looks at the ton of Amiga equipment and says "wow, you sure have a lot of cool stuff".  Last night I got her to sit down and start playing a few games while she watched a VHS movie on the adjacent 1084 sitting atop the VCR that is used to display DCTV images, animations and paint program, so I don't have to switch the A500's other 1084's display from RGB to Composite and back while running DCTV.

She watched while I went through drawers to find different games for her and again said "wow, I didn't know your old computers were so fast"  I then explained that the 030/40mHz Amiga was running about 100 times slower than her laptop, but Windows was the problem.  She was impressed and wants to learn more about my Amigas.  Am I the luckiest husband on the planet or what? :-D

And then you woke up because of the noise of your wife trashing all your Amiga's? :lol:
