@vingtroiseize Thanks for the date reminder!

I’ve corrected the @wikipedia page (diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1221398674&oldid=1221046099&title=Commodore_International), as the previous version used the story's publication date rather than the date of the liquidation announcement.

@mjgardner @vingtroiseize The A4000 case had the same generic PC box heritage. Dave Haynie, CBM Engineer, aludes to it here: https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-history-of-the-Amiga-4000-What-is-it-that-should-have-shipped-compared-to-what-actually-shipped

@owainski @vingtroiseize Yah, the A1200 and A4000 were simultaneously too little and too much too late to save Commodore from the newly-installed mismanagement.

And the weird structural defect of having to solicit orders from a dozen country- or region-specific independent marketing & sales company subsidiaries didn’t help.

Even the Mac looked more attractive both inside and out in the early 1990s.

@nivrig How… what. Is it opposites day somewhere? We loved it! And it was the coolest computer you could have at the time (if you couldn’t afford VAX furniture)!

“I don’t remember anything ever breaking with my Amiga. I don’t remember a game that didn’t load.” “How… what” again! :) Floppies were unreliable as hell when covered in graffiti and four layers of cracker group stickers and mailed from Finland to Turkey to Germany! Harddisks took way to long to become standard…

:D

@anjune Well I loved mine and the only time it broke was when I tried to do an internal chipram upgrade and cut the wrong trace :D

I have three of them now, and a Mini. Still coding for it :)

Today The Guardian published a trolling article in the Opinion section titled, "My undying love for the painfully uncool Amiga"

It has been a long day. I need some music to relax.

[This was my daily driver setup in 2020. Sadly, that machine has had to undergo years-worth of repairs since. Almost ready to get back on the desk.]

Amiga 3000 playing the MOD music file “enigma”.

hankg,

@amigalove An A3000 as a daily driver in 2020? Very impressive!

@vingtroiseize how many hours I must have spent on that game

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

No, really, I'm getting somewhere with the collision detection. It's just that it jumps 20,000 pixels sometimes. It's fine.

See, the block collisions mostly work. Mostly. Until they don't.
