I was sad to see it go, but my A1000 hadn't seen daylight for quite a while and I'm getting married next year so it has gone to a better home where it can be loved once more. I still have my A1200 (060 and 64Mb) for when I get bored with windows and an A600 comes out now and again for games.
 
I used to tweak my Amigas to the hilt, all the latest libraries got installed to boost that extra bit of speed, copied my ROM to memory so I could patch it, loved it.
 
It was brilliant logging in to a bulletin board somewhere in Leicester on my 14K modem and downloading all the latest code demos to show off my Amiga to my mates, and when the Internet came along it was fantastic although the modem speed was awful loading a single GIF.
 
I still miss Directory Opus as it was so easy to customize it for anything, wish Windows was as user friendly and I'm an IT Manager.
 
If I could run AmigaOS on a Quad core processor I would be very happy.
Oh well we can only hope for the future of the OS.

The guy who bought it from me sent me an email to tell me he is now a very happy chappy and booted up his kickstart disc and is happily playing.
So I am happy it is still serving it's purpose and being enjoyed once again.
:cool:

Kewl, I've now been playing with Directory Opus 9.5 in Windows 7 for a few hours and it is fantastic. I will probably have bought it by the end of the month.:laugh1:
