Amiga's on Innerspace
« on: October 09, 2012, 03:56:29 PM »
One of the hosts of "Innerspace" (a talk show on the science fiction station "Space" here in Canada) visits a computer museum.

BTW   The host "AJ" is an Amiga fan and has mentioned playing on his father's Amiga on past episodes.

Worth watching, that dude running that place is retro fabulous.

Ahhhh retro...

It IS like a temple.

Watching this makes me wish that things return to old times just for competitions sake.

It was better back then when we had so many choices. There was much more innovation, and each choice had its own charms.

Whats left is three choices, windows, mac or linux, all on the same hardware.

Not sure if thats good or bad. But we're down to just software choices...

Besides those big three... There is AROS.

Oh ****, I'm excited again... Even if its only software :)

It is kind of sad that home computers have become so homogenized, but on the other hand, I don't recall having a plethora of cheap, pocket sized ARM boards back in the good ol' days.

...ouch!  I guess that dates me!  I played on my own Amiga in the 1980s-90s.

Hey!  For a split second they show a closeup of a VIC-20 hosting the Mega-Cart keyboard overlay I did the graphic design work for (2:18)!

What the heck was a Naboo computer (see very end of video where hosts are chatting)?  I don't remember ANYTHING remotely with that name.

That was a really good segment. Has a similar falvor to the tech TV shows of old.

I need to check this place out someday.  I wonder if he's got a Unisys Icon.

It was a NABU. From what I read it sounds like the personal version barely launched.
