I hung in there with the Amiga until around 1996. I truly enjoyed that computer system, in a way I haven't enjoyed any computer since. Perhaps part of it was the overall novelty of personal computing, as there was still so much totally new development going on... but I sure didn't have that same enjoyment factor when using IBM-PC clones or even Macintoshes of the same era.

I think, maybe, somehow, probably unintentionally, the Amiga captured the 1970s/early-1980s "hacker spirit" better than any of the other personal computer systems. It wasn't a Lisp machine, and it wasn't a PDP-11, and it wasn't particularly used for artificial intelligence, but its users thoroughly enjoyed tinkering with it and making it do awesome things.

And awesome things it did.
