Any old Amiga users among us?
zridling:
Back in the 1980s, Amiga users were among the best programmers and tech people I knew. They always would shake their heads and softly laugh when repairing PCs. There's a History of the Amiga film on usenet under alt.binaries.documentaries that tells the story.
The Amiga 500
Perry Mowbray:
Ah... my first computer :-*
I wonder what I'd really think if I was able to dust it off again... memory is such a funny thing, eh?
zridling:
Amiga is another instance of better tech losing out to monied marketing. By making it expandable in a variety of ways (external drives/ports, memory), the machine actually lasted far longer than the traditional 3-year upgrade cycle and saved you money.
Go figure.
Ralf Maximus:
I sold Amigas. Does that count?
zridling:
Definitely! I don't remember — were they expensive, cheap, or about the same as other computers, such as Apple and PCs?
