Wow.
I think I just shed a tear - the Amiga was like the parent I never had.
There's too many brilliant lines to quote from this clip.

Please let this escape the queue

I hope so too - I miss my surrogate Amiga (almost as much as my first computer: the Commodore 64!)

you're such a geek benjee........ anyway, everyone knows it was the Acorn 3000 that was the greatest.

Acorn 3000!? Pah!
My first ever computer was a Commodore Plus 4 and I lost years playing Kickstart and Icicle Works on it. I miss shit computers

Amiga 500 was the bomb, heh, I remember dune II enless fripp'n hours on that. Had like one meg of mem, but you could reconfigure it with a solder trick (which I performed) lol, where have the years gone...

I used to work in an Amiga dealership (a couple of different ones, in fact) and we used to have this video playing on a loop. We took pride in having every piece of software and hardware shown in the video. I had a video editing department in the back of the store, where I used a 1000 with a SuperGen genlock for graphics and CG. I also had the Live board and Invision to do video effects that, I swear, still have not been equaled on either Windows or Mac (both of which I know fairly throughly).

I'm not one of those retro-computing people, but when doing video shows, there is still a place for the 1000 with the Live board and a 2000 with a Toaster.

I am Jack's Amiga 500.

I wish we hadn't gotten rid of our C128 at a garage sale.

"It's Desktop Publishing that really turns me on."

That was a cool video. I had an Apple //c back then.

Wow, bought back some memories. I like all the Videoscape 3D stuff also. Videoscape 3D was made by Alan Hastings basically by himself. He left that company and joined NewTek and made a little program called Lightwave. I remember being at the Amigaworld show in Chicago where Alan was introducing the program that would become Lightwave, yet hadn't named it that yet.

Now he went on to co-found Luxology and is making Modo which is one of the best modelers in the world at the moment.

Well done Amiga!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

The Amiga was very advanced for its time. The Atari ST was good too, but pretty much a rip-off of the Amiga.

My best mate had an ST the same time as I had the Amiga - he was massively in denial, used to scoff at my computer because it's sound capabilities weren't as advanced as the Atari.
Never stopped him coming round every day to try and finish New Zealand Story.

"Like" one meg, sorted? That's <flashing superman logo>1 MEG</flashing superman logo> to you!
