Hi,
Since other people are posting stories about their Amiga life, I thought I would share mine of missed opportunity (aint hindsight a wonderful thing).
Back when I was TAFE I was an avid Amos programmer and designed a program to test people to get their L's (their learner license) for my major project.
Because TAFE didn't have any Amiga's, I had to bring my Amiga 1200 in to demonstrate to the teacher, he was impressed! :hammer:
However he said pity I programmed it in Amos instead of Visual Basic as it was an ideal language for my simple click to choose interface. I was stubborn and said the Amiga was a lot better than any IBM PC and didn't want to learn a basic for IBM PC.:madashell:
Time passed and wouldn't you know it a few years later, someone had designed a program that ran in Visual Basic for IBM PC's to do what my Amos program had set out to do, test people to get their L's.
This testing program is now used across the state of Tasmania and some times I wonder what could of been!:confused:
PS I can't wait to start coding in Amos again, I loved that language and how simple it was to program for (loved the example of a picture viewer with a couple lines of code).
