DIRECT-X sucks my A2000 runs more stable than my AMD 2500+ and 512mb of pc3200 ram with windows XP pro!! windows sucks, Microcrap sucks even worse and that is what is going to be their downfall.

they feed us crap and we have no other choices, in the early 90's there was choices and that is what killed the amiga was the marketing of other companies and the fact the IBM said sure make as many clones of our stuff as you want.

I wish it was the other way around. :-o

1: The company, even though C= made some mstakes, it _sounds_ good "Commodore Amiga".

2: The time... i was young... from i was 13 to 17 i was gazing at them in the shops...

3: A lot of my friends had one, it made up a community...

4: You never forget your first love... And i an serious about this (not literally though). Just like you never forget your old Lego, or your first Transformer toy...

5: It's story... it's easy to empathize(?) or sympathize with the small, poor, defenseless one... and to cry when it's defenselessly crushed in the battle of the giants..
(Dramatic yea?) :-)

I wish that OS4 will bring back the Amiga-feeling, but right now i feel that it won't.

Just my thoughts... And maybe not THAT off-topic... It depends on what you mean with "live again"


I'd have to agree 100% I remember sitting in the amiga side of the central florida commodore user's group (I was part of the c64/128 group :-) ) and I would drool, this is back in late '86 early '87.
Oh and the smell you can always tell the smell of the amiga when it is running, call me crazy but there is a distinct smell when the system is on. And for me that is nostalgic!

they should bottle that scent and sell it for PC's, that way running windows dosen't seem like such a waste of time!!

(not to mention a slap in the face!)
