When the Amiga was still alive, having one had the same kind of effect owning a Mac does: you have something that works a hell of a lot better than the crap everyone else you know owns, and it's damn hard not to evangelize it.

Some people kinda got stuck on it. And still evangelize it. The way I look at it, it was ten years ahead of its time, but mismanagement meant it didn't stay ten years ahead - it sat in one place, and everything else caught up with it and surpassed most of its capabilities.

I'd go crazy trying to use one now.
