I was a (founding) member of the Amiga club at my university. Bought it in 1989 and kept it as my primary and only computer for those 8 years.Īnd people didn't just think I was obsessive. I gave up on the Amiga a decade ago as well.

I'll say this, though: DAMN, those screenshots look like fun.

Here's hoping that they make a version which will run on any hardware you like-if Linux can do it, so can the Amiga OS. But neither of them are the same as having a machine running 4.1. And, of course, I have my Amiga emulator on my XP box. At this point, it's easier to put an Amiga-based GTK theme on my Linux box. I gave up on it almost ten years ago, but did so very reluctantly. It's good to see AOS 4.1 finally getting polished up and ready to go. I moved to Windows 95 (due to programming classes in college) and then to Linux (because I got tired of doing tech support at home), but to this day, using both OS's feels like I'm borrowing someone else's computer rather than using my own. I still own two and both still run (although I use one as spare parts for the other, and haven't fired up either in a couple of years). The Amiga was my first computer, and is still my favorite computer.
