I didn't realise how lucky I was to have had BigTrak AND the trailer till I started researching - the trailer was released more in the US (theirs was a grey version) and I remember delivering drinks to my Nan with it!?

OK that's enough now.

BTW: I'm not seeing the BigTrak avatar any more does Engadget alternate between all of the pictures uploaded?

And who can forget that the Amiga was the first computer that offered simultaneous operating systems, ala vmware. I recall running mac os7, dos and amiga os all at once, switching between, copy paste.

Or multiple resolutions on the one screen.

Btw, I still love the look of the Amiga 500, maybe because I always wanted one as a kid but at the time we were dirt poor so we weren't able to get one. ]]>Oct 15th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/Oct 15th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/
It's a real shame that Comodore died like it did, and the Amiga had such a tragic fate.

It's also a shame that the classic Amigas are no longer supported by projects such as MorphOS or even AmigaOS 4 itself.. the PowerPC systems have much more horsepower (not to mention hardware availability), but it's no longer the beautiful, fully paralellized architecture of the old times..
Thankfully, there are projects such as "minimig" and "natami" (www.natami.net), trying to reproduce - and in the later case, greatly enhance - the classic Amiga architecure! :-)]]>Oct 15th 2009 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/Oct 15th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/Oct 15th 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/Oct 15th 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/
Such clever game development back then. It was amazing what Team 17 and the Bitmap Brothers could squeeze out of a machine with a 7mhz processor and 512k ram.

I really miss Amiga, I still play some old games on my A1200 with my son and play with Amiga Forever but I would really love to be able to run a new AmigaOS on modern AMD hardware with an AGA emulator for old software support.

Most of us old Amigans aren't pushing Amiga as an alternative to anything, we are into retro computing and love playing those "old" games. I just can't seem to get the same experience on today's platforms. Don't get me wrong, my family has a lot of fun with our Wii but it's just not the same. I get more use out of MAME and my A1200.

I hope Hyperion Entertainment can surprise us with a AMD version of AmigaOS. ]]>Oct 15th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/

It was so ahead of it's time in both hardware and software and also user community. Man I saw a computer show video recently from the late 80s and that thing was on the internet even then.
In 1990 to have a world wide user base of about 10 million was amazing and if some giant company had been at the helm instead of struggling Comadore then they could have put money into R&D and kept evolving and expanding. Today we would have a major third player along with the Windows PC and OS Macs.]]>Oct 16th 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/morphos-for-amiga-adds-mac-mini-support-someone-in-europe-is-de/
