Happy 25th anniversary, Amiga. Here's to 25 more...

holy crap has it been 25 years already!..seems like yesterday when I first heard and then saw that boing ball Happy Birthday Amiga

@Elwood

I thought that the PC emulator Transformer was vapor.

@interrogative No, it was very real.
In fact, I used to do my homework for my computer science class in 1990. It was running Turbo Pascal very well and even supported hercules graphics. It was however quite slow.

Those 25 years went by pretty fast, I'm beginning to feel old..... Oh well, computing is still FUN

@Thread

To see that in the days most people were still using the likes of the Commodore 64 or Sinclair spectrum was truly amazing.
Now to celebrate all we need is a new machine with the same advanced steps in terms of technology, something that makes a 6 core i7 look like a Commodore 64 by today's standards.

@Arnie

I attended the "Hannover Messe" industry fair in that years (only a few kilometers from my home). The "CeBIT" computer fair was a tiny part of the big industry fair in that days ... and I saw the first time an A1000 for real! Wow! Dream machine! But going to school and having no money I still had to use my trusty Sinclar ZX Spectrum 48k - desperately trying to make a boing ball demo on my Speccy...

@All

A very happy birthday for the Amiga! 25 years later, the Amiga is more alive than ever!!!

@Elwood

Thank you but my official birthday is in September.
But thanks, because also I'm Amiga user.

Yay Happy Birthday Amiga! I hope to be re-united with you once again soon!

@all

Yes, happy anniversary!!

To celebrate I've installed the lastest winuae and have been playing Alien Breed, Worms, SuperFrog, Cannon Fodder, Banshee and lots of other great games.

Suddenly, the Wii seems boring

Happy Birthday Amiga !

Yes, happy birthday, old girl.

Happy Birthday!

And incredible but true this also makes a year that I started (again) to have an interest in Amiga. It was last year (end of July/early August I can't recall precisely) that I stumbled upon the "still alive" video on you tube, which led me to search for it, get my A2000 out of the closet, visit Pianeta Amiga2009 and now here I am writing from my Sam.
What a year!

May she live forever!

@DAX

Yeah at about the same time I came across the very same video whilst having a nostalgic moment.

@djrikki
wow same experience!
A-Eon should licence that video and use it as advertisement then

@DAX

Well one thing is for certain DAX, someone should contact Eric Schwartz, perhaps he'll can do a special animation showing off the X1000 or do promotional work. 99% of ex-amigans will remember his name from back in the day and his back catalogue is on Youtube, I am sure he has quite a following!
