Ah, the Amiga was such an amazing machine. I never owned one, but I actually subscribed to all the magazines.

Watching old Computer Chronicles episodes – and seeing stuff like this – really makes me think about how different computing was before it became a device for consuming more than a device for creating. Back then, you really had to have a passion or at least a real desire to learn a new medium.

It's so interesting to see the unique things people did with their early Amigas, Apples, Macs, etc – and how many people learned to program out of necessity.
