Amiga: Pagan Sex Magik Under A Full Moon
It Lives!
After a decade of piss-farting around with awful Windoze machines, I dusted off and fired up my real computer, which looks something like this:
Yes, a real pre-emptive multi-tasking operating system, capable of running in less than 1Mb of RAM. After a frenzied acquisition of vital components, the old girl was upgraded to the latest & greatest:
200Mhz PPC Processor
50Mhz 68060 Processor
146Mb of RAM
750Mb IDE Hard Drive (installed in 1995 at GREAT cost!)
70Gb SCSI-II Wide Hard Drive
CD/DVD Combo Drive (getting tight inside that case!)
X-Surf III Network card with a USB clockport expansion
Picasso IV 96 24-bit graphics card with Adrienne soundcard & flicker-fixer, driving a nifty TFT monitor.
If you don't know shit about Amigas, that won't mean shit to you. All you need to know is that when Macs were black & white with postage-stamp screens, and PCs ran DOOM in 64 colours and went "beep", the Amiga could calculate an FTL jump from Caprica to Earth while giving you a blowjob, composing an opera more Masonic than "The Magic Flute", and making out with its good-looking best friend while you watched - with the Octopus.
If you do know your shit, you've probably just soiled yourself in excitement. With a whole lot less fuss than was required to connect to FidoNet using 3 software packages (Term, Spot & Trapdoor) via a Meastro 14.4k modem many moons ago, I got it up and running with my home broadband account in around 10 minutes. Glory be to the Miama TCP/IP stack. Mind you, this machine was browsing the web using Lynx back in 1995...
Just downloaded this gracious innovation - http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/
Now THAT is a browser.
I've just out-geeked the Goatherder. I rule.

Shillard, how are you any different from every bogan who drives an XD falcon and can't stop banging on about cams and wheels and how old cars are sooo much better.
Amigas were cool for about 9 months when they had better games than the C64. Then mankind discovered the transistor and now it's all history.
The 80s are over, it's time to let it go.
Goathereder, it's 2007, stop being a 400 pound fat black transvestite
Goatherder - meet Fred.
Fred - meet Goatherder.
