I'm well impress that someone at your age has an appreciation for these little gems. Amiga's that is. Personally my heart flutters every time I pass my Amiga's. I just have to stop and turn them on. I'm aware of the rep that A600's have in the community, but I couldn't care less. I love the little buggers. That's why I have 3 of them. :-D
All stock and all functioning. Even the most staunch Amiga user knows that these machines are all but obsolete in the sense that newer modern machines out perform them in pretty much every way. But you know what, that doesn't even matter really. Being an Amiga user is a love affair. You know all the faults and short comings of them, but you still adore them anyway. For most of us it was the philosophy of the techies at Commodore back in the 80s and early 90s that captured our interest. Even if the money and management people were determined to run CBM into the ground.
I say, just enjoy the little beasty. Set it up on a desk somewhere so you can see it every time you walk by. So your mates can ask you, what the hell is that? and you can have the joy of explaining it to them. You can tell them that once upon a time, before Micro$oft had conquered the world, there were alternatives to PCs and Macs. That the world was once filled with companies all jostling to get their own little home computer Frankenstein onto the market. All brimming with chicklet keyboards, tape drives and on very rare occasions, floppy drives. Ahh, such was the naissance of home computing. Let hope we get to have a renaissance.
