My gf threw out my aging amiga from my attic when we moved house. Sure it was tucked away gathering dust, but that by no means, said that it was worthless. Damn her. Anyways I regretted her doing that for a very long time. So much memories were riding on that thing. The long nights spent playing Superfrog with my brothers. The day my dad bought me the 512K expansion slot, so I could play the optimised version of SimCity and the expansion graphics packs. aaahh.
Yeah I have no Amiga now, and in fact go over to a friends house to ocassionaly play SuperCars I (which I can't get to work on any emulator for the life of me) And you know what I still love it. Before you scream blind fanatic, I happen to own 6 PeeCees, all networked running a myriad of m$ Oses, ranging from 98SE to XP to 2000 Server. I run an elaborate LAN and ftp/internet gateway. I know all there is to know about NT admin, I happen to work as one. But having said all this, I still look forward to an Amiga resurgence.
Its not that I don't acknowledge the advancements that m$ have made, heck I'd be a hypocrite if I did, since I spend most of my time using and benefitting from all this development that has brought the m$ platform where it is today. The thing is that computing has lost a sense of itself, since the Atari vs Amiga days. We have lost what it means to have fun computing. These days I waddle to my desktop and surf the net for anything, play 20 minutes of UT2K3 and then use Mirc the rest of the time. Wow aren't I having real fun here!
Give me back my Amiga dammit!
