Rock on y'all! defend the faith!
Amiga is #1!
it gives you more for less, there is no doubt about it (apart amongst the seriously ingorant)
there is so many aspects of glory...i will choose...
i am still amazed today at how much digital entertainment was managed to be stuffed into a single self-boot disk! especially all those demos
it is a mind boggle to witness the high quality
experience that demands a mere 1mg ram! while unachievable with tenfold of that and more elsewhere. not to mention that it was all soley done using essentially the same machine. can the same be said for instance about gamecube x-box or?
while some of it is far from impressive today (the end results), it is still amazing what was accomplished the production+the requirements of the end results.
the power of the amiga has always been, to me, in the production side. becasue on the playback/consumer side there is considerably less discrimination required. that will change too (or should...)
the most exiting prospects today is to envision that same effecient use of instruction on top of having available abundance of hardware backing :-P
