I can't really participate in this vote as I think it should have been a multiple choice one. The community has gone in several different directions and I don't think there'll ever be a "sole survivor", nor does there deserve to be. Whilst it was still in production, the amiga was a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Now that it's not and people have taken steps to continue it's legacy in the direction they think is the right one, no one option is ever going to please everybody again.
I think people overlook that there's more to the internet than web browsing and there's a lot more to computers than the internet
I too taught myself everything I know about computers since I got my first Vic 20 back around 82. The Amiga has taught me that you don't need gigabytes of ram and over bloated code just to achieve a simple task, it's a joy to use and teaches you how to code and perform tasks efficiently without the need for the latest super duper all singing & dancing processor.No matter what the doubter have to say I don't need to prove myself to them and they can disbelieve all they want as it's not a problem to me. Being of an age where we didn't even have a computers at school and no one to teach us about them, I reckon that's the big difference between older folk like myself (gawd older folk I'm only 46) and the some of younger generations who were born into a world where computers were already established as part of everyday life.I for one am glad and indeed feel privileged to have been around at the start of true home computing and really wish that some of the younger folk who don't understand this would open their minds to the simple fact that the need for speed and more lifelike graphics just to play a silly 3D game is not all that computing is about, but sadly for some of them I don't think they will ever see it that way.
Dammy was probably just remembering how long it took him to master hyperlinks.
