I think some things are maybe just timeless. I was too young to fully appreciate computers around the time of the Amiga. My only real memories of computers of that time, apart from games, is being a kid and learning how to write loops that repeated text on my dad's Atari. But, I've read a lot over the years about computers from then and have spent a lot of time on modern computers. The Amiga, from what I can tell, was actually special, not just from a nostalgia sense. They seemed to push the boundaries of computing at the time, gave a glimpse of what could be but were stuck in that inbetween phase and just couldn't quite make it. I think they deserve all the praise they get. They seem like they were one hell of a machine for the time and despite the huge diversity of things like linux distros and such these days, things like the RPi and various comparable devices, a huge range of consoles, phones and other arm based things, there really isn't anything like the old days of computers where everything was different and devices were made to be tinkered with. Not to say everything about that era sounded awesome or better or whatever, but something does seem to have been lost that machines like the Amiga seem to embody.
