This is the machine were I learned about programming, graphics, sound, 3D design, animation, video editing, Vjing, games development, operating systems, multi-tasking, you name it, and all in the early 90's.

One of my first jobs before university was doing realtime cgi on an Amiga 3000 with a GenLock attached to an editing suite full of Betacam machines and editing desks.

Fun times!

But I try to avoid reading the latest posts on the Amiga because I tend to feel nostalgic and sad when I do.

It was painful when Commodore went bankrupt. I almost considered not going into computer science.

I still to this day feel like I never got the full system slow downs that our current OSs get on my Amiga. It may have had no memory protection and thus crashes took down the whole system, but it sure was a joy to use. It's a great story of how a fantastic system was doomed by the company that owned it.
