In recent interview/rant Kanye mentions the Amiga computer in the final minute.

It can be heard here;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03cnqpl

or here;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01h0cmy

WARNING. In case you consider listening to the whole program, it does contain the strongest possible language. Certainly an interesting interview whatever your opinion on him.

He was discussing the joy that comes when you open your first special product as a kid. The ramble with the Amiga included Turbo Graphics 16, Sega, and Nintendo.

I'll invite him to AmiWest :)

Ah that feeling which made you feel like the king of the hill , that feeling which made your backhairs stand strong, that feeling that made you the man you are today, that feeling that will never be replaced by something bigger or better...

that day..... for me... was when i got my Commodore C64.


Later on... The Amiga , later on when my son was born. :)

I suppose he came running out on stage during a PC show and said " The Amiga is better!"

Oh, please don't! I'll be the first one to pelt him with eggs and tomatoes.

What a jerk and a--hole! He is an embarrassment to the entertainment industry. It seems that the law is after him too.

Well, I think I've heard the name, but I dunno what he does.

OK, yes, I live in the sticks!
