Eventually I subscribed to the point of view that DOS/Win was the way to go. (Amiga was going nowhere with a management that could not draft a vision for the company that was bright enough.) How wrong I was! - A Mac was way to expensive here in Germany, so that was not an option. So I bought a boring PC, learning Wordperfect and whatnot.
But the Amiga taught me what 68000er assembly is, what a hex editor is, and all of this (the Amiga Workbench, the games, the graphics) was so much more fun and beautiful then a dry DOS box.
- pjmlp 6y agoI was the PC dude among the gang that was focused on the Amiga, I use to dislike being the only one diving into Peter Norton and PC Systems Programming books, while only being able to do Amiga programming (in pairs, apparently we were already doing agile!), and music (hey Protracker!) during our weekend meetings. Apparently I was the lucky one, although like everyone else on the group I always kept trying to find the Amiga soul in newer systems. BeOS seemed to be it, but it wasn't. Nowadays I would give that place to macOS and Windows, in what concerns being multimedia desktop computers, although it isn't the same.
