The Amiga! 20 Years of Magic!(1985-2005)
Dear fellow amigans,
What made you an Amigan? Did you ever stop to think for once in awhile, we made this platform your choice, whether we consider it dead, alive. It's useful as a hobby, additional collection in/out our closets or in programming for fun, games, internet, DTP, Graphics, video, multimedia. Whatever was that thing that made us want to coming back to the Amiga? Was it a phenomenon? Sure the Amiga was, in 1985 superior, but what made it unique is that up to now, many people still use it. A man named Jay Miner gave us part of his life working and designed it. That includes the other wonder engineers behind the machine. Their dedication, devotion and love were imprinted forever in history of our hearts. It was good, it was sweet.
I will surely miss the time I first fell in love with this computer! The Amiga1000 wowed people. However, Commodore made bad decisions most of the time. Later, the community picked up where Commodore left. Ebay will never stop getting offers here and there on Amigas. Web sites, or other communities may have come and gone, or may have change but people will never change the way the Amiga made them the way they were.
Most people would probably think this post is full of bull crap and all, but it's my right to say this for the community I so dearly love, no matter what creed and interests, I still hold that interest in it.
No such words can explain how I feel about this platform. Your views may differ from mine, but I will always hold true to my love for this machine. I can't explain what enchantment this wonderful thing it holds, but I can't let go of it. Despite the adversities in life may bring. It's no longer a question of pride. It's just that I don't want to loose that magic that Amiga still has me keeping coming back. All those old times may never comeback again, but the memories live on in each and every Amigan! Let us respect each others views and set aside differences and help us continue that magic to live on for the future. Maybe the Amiga won't be around in another 10 years, but I want the legacy of the Amiga Platform to be remembered, with respect and glory. I want future generations to know that the Amiga that changed ours/my life forever.
For posterity purposes this serves, no matter what happens, it does not change the way I look at the Amiga platform. Life and times were hard and short, but we could always make things better for each and everyone of us. As a part of this community and as an individual, I want everyone to know that this phenomenon we call the 'Amiga' has been, in the past, present and future, always the greatest computer any person deserves! I grew up with it. I've out grew it. I don't consider the Amiga just a mere computer, It will always be My Amiga. I already consider this a privilege to be part of the community of Amiga users. Best of all I did it! The Amigan way!
Regards,
Gilbert
