I started buying all workstations and Amigas I could find. To be honest the Amigas are annoying because each and every one need some kind of upgrade or repair in order to work. And then it is the illogical AmigaOS and Workbench where purists are the only ones who truly get it.
I prefer Unix workstations instead and play retro games on my MiSTER.
- zozbot234 5y agoWhat's so illogical about Workbench/AmigaOS? It seems very intuitive to me, even by modern standards.
- unixhero 5y agoSure the GUI is okay you are right. But when you are repairing and when you are tinkering you need to shim in drivers and make stuff work. Google-fu is not enough to find solutions in my experience. That aspect of it.
- vidarh 5y agoThere are a handful of sites to go if you need help repairing: https://amigaworld.net https://amigaworld.net https://forum.amiga.org/ https://forum.amiga.org/ https://amigans.net https://amigans.net https://eab.abime.net/ https://eab.abime.net/ (English Amiga Board) You'll be able to get help there much more easily than via Google.
- unixhero 5y agoThanks a lot for these resources. I will surely look into these when I get any further on the 1200 machines or 600 vampire accelerated or something.
- blihp 5y agoIt's only illogical in retrospect now that Unix/Linux 'won'. Back then, every platform had its own quirky OS and hardware. Of the bunch, I found the Amiga running AmigaOS the among the least quirky and illogical.
