The problem is that the Amiga platform is the only "retro" platform that hasn't (in terms of its users) fully come to terms with its death yet. Some of us still believe... or if not believe then fantasise... that the Amiga could come back. This is because there was so much potential for the Amiga brand, even after Commodore's death. Unfortunately the potential was squandered. But a lot of us are still waiting or dreaming of the Amiga's rise from the ashes. We've had a lot of promises along the way that have kept the fire of hope going.
if some people were looking at computer platforms as a race, maybe this is how they feel.
However, I feel that for me, Amiga was the great success of my life. It was THE most important career decision I ever made. My career would have been over if I had not bought my A2000 in 1989.
It lead to my achievements, and the best work of my life. For ME Amiga has been nothing but positive. But that's because i saw the potential and USED it to my advantage.
I don't want to be mean, but if others didn't do that, who's fault is that?
A computer - all of them - are tools. What matters is what you do with that tool.
