Yeah. The Amiga was even cool when it crashed.

Looks like it’s on Hulu, not Amazon Prime? Curses!

I feel Amiga was more like LaserDisc.
But only one of these were profoundly involved in making Babylon 5, which I was very into back in the day (and still am).
(Alas, I spent more time on the Mac. I had more of a passion for print.)

I remember back when you could get away with NO heatsink!
I cut my teeth on the Amiga. I started on the C64, but it was the Amiga (I owned a 500, 1200, and 4000 over the years) that really got me interested in things:
1 - my first hardware tinkering and upgrades were ram expansions for my 500 that required soldering a pin on the Agnus chip
2 - my 1200 got me a job working at an Amiga shop as a sysadmin (where I got to play with an netbsd-amiga, my first Un*x, and
3 - the Video Toaster in an A2000 (and later an A4000) was what got me my job working at a startup, and without a doubt is the reason I am in Tech ops today.
It’s not an exxageration to say the Amiga changed my life and I would not have the career I do without it.
