well written article. can so relate to this. i also held onto amiga for a looong time myself. what was a bit paradoxical, as the author mentions, was the lack of backwards-compatibility after you had pimped your amiga with an accelerator-card, RTG graphics and a 16-bits soundcard ++. it had become more of a PC in a way, but it was still running amigaOS. system-friendly apps that ran in workbench worked fine for the most part, but stuff that did trickery with the original/AGA chipset and was coded on AmigaDOS1.x/68000 would not work (which was a lot of games and demos). at one point i had a separate A1200 for this. i miss my old workbench environment with CED, ProTracker, SnoopDos, amIRC, Directory Opus and more. it was fun times and i am grateful for being part of the ride.
