Do you still enjoy your Amiga ?
« on: October 12, 2010, 07:22:16 PM »
I enjoy programming for AROS ATM and sometimes booting in my A1, A4000. A3000 or A1200. With all the negativity and infighting in the Amiga fora I seem to be the only one left to be able to enjoy his Amiga. Is this correct ?

greets,
Staf.

PS: I prefer Brussels Sprouts over Broccoli.

Can I vote more than once? Because some of the options are not mutually exclusive - e.g. I enjoy my Amigas as well as being negative and starting flamewars.

That's half the fun :D

I was enjoying my Morphos Mac Mini until last week. Then the mac's fan started pushing air at record speeds. It's impossible to stop the fan while the mac is plugged in now. And it won't turn on no matter how many times or how long I press the button. I think it's dead.

I've had a string of bad luck. My Amiga 2000 started pushing up the silicon last December just as I was testing my entry for the Christmas game contest.

PS. Where's the vote option for broccoli? :-)

Yeah I enjoy my Amiga's, but currently I'm a bit overworked and haven't touched one of them in weeks.
The only thing I did was removing the battery from my A500 plus because the board hasn't been damaged by the battery.
But every time I play on them I always enjoy it, but eventually I have to do other things and it's off again.

I voted yes as it was the closest to the truth, which is probably something like "usually". Every now and then some impatience and/or frustration kicks in with AROS (my ng "amiga" system of choice, although the same would apply regardless of which "ng" system I chose as it's the lack of good alternatives to software I use regularly on Windows that's the cause), so I go back to OS3.x for some creative retro fun for a while when this happens. Unfortunately, after a while I start missing things that os3.x lacks compared to AROS too, so I spend a bit of time going back and forward, but never being completely content. Once uae intergration is a little more mature I'll be a happy man :-) (although having said that it works nicely for a lot of stuff already).
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I have no patience for fiddling with things to get to (modern) basic functionality so I don't do anything but the basic things on Amiga. I know some people are totally retro, but I just like retro with modern conveniences.

YES.

I enjoy them all for many reasons. Simply booting into Workbench and loading a module player is worthy of the word enjoyment! :-) If it gives me 'that tingly feeling', I'll continue to use it.
