I stayed with the Amiga because I also liked Commodore.
The Amiga was a Computer Nerd's dream.

@broadblues

I didn't follow your link -- my browser is giving me a security warning for that site.

From what I've read in the past he was probably born late summer/early winter 2 BC, but the church picked December 25 to coincide with some pagan holiday or other. Which is fine by me -- December is a dreary month in my part of the world, so it's nice to have something to celebrate this time of year.

I'm still here too. Goodness know why haha.
Mainly Classic stuff these days.

Didn't this thread escalate quickly, looks like I missed a whole world of backstory, and for that I'm grateful.

See you next year for my now annual posting here in AW.

Regards,
Rude!

I stay with Amiga/MorphOS because it offers some continuity (30 years for me now), I can rather master the system and am used to the work flow and can do most of th stuff I want to do (well, quite a lack in the office domain though).
A bit more of this and that would be nice, but all in all it's nice - a thinner laptop with a more powerful battery would be on my dream list though, but still the Powerbook gives me about 2hrs independence from a power outlet...
