Yeah I certainly messed about with it! I used my Amiga in my first year at uni. It was running Perl. I switch to a PC the year after and promptly dual booted Linux since I’ve always hated windows.

It's not for the 2600 specifically. Most home computers around at the time (many of which were still being used in 1992 before we all switched to MS-DOS/Windows PCs) had the same joystick port as the 2600, so this would more likely be used on systems like the Atari ST and Amiga.

Eu dando umas aulas para uma amiga. 😅
Mandei pra ela um app de espelhamento do celular pro computador e um de captura de tela melhor do que o do próprio Windows. 🤭🤭
Não precisa baixar nenhum app no celular para poder espelhar.

the best thing about apples magic keyboard is that despite it retaining the ability to function wired when used with a non bluetooth enabled computer running a real operating system like macos windows amiga or bsd, you can still turn it off with the power switch instead of having to unplug it […]

O notebook é de uma amiga que comprou um mac por não se adaptar no Windows, mas a máquina está aqui no meu estúdio em São Paulo, dá pra vir testar e pegar em mãos. Tem NF

C64 in Amiga in Windows .. in Windows? 🤔

So here's to that time I realised I could take Windows 10 PC, load up the virtual Windows XP machine in VirtualBox, boot the virtual Workbench 3.1 Amiga in WinUAE, and play High Noon on the virtual C64 in Magic64.

I enjoyed that. 😊

The Amiga uses ISO 8859-1 character encoding, the most widely used single-byte encoding, esp. the Windows-1252 variant, which adds the Euro symbol and other additions from ISO 8859-15. That covers a lot of languages that use the Latin alphabet.

RISC OS uses ISO 8859-1… with extensions for Welsh.
Dan Wood has done some good videos on the Archimedes and on RISC OS on Raspberry Pi. He's British so he actually has experience with using Acorn computers. youtu.be/Z1osEX6eYHE?...

If you only ever take one thing from our association, let it be this: www.gpsoft.com.au

Was a big fan of the Amiga version in the 90s, but this current iteration actually makes using Windows enjoyable. After seeing Shane R. Monroe's videos on it, I couldn't resist, picked it up & never looked back.

Donc oui, Windows était banal à l'époque et beaucoup moins avancé que ses concurrents.

(Macintosh début 1984 précédé par Lisa début 1983, Amiga et Atari ST mi-1985, Windows fin 1985. Tous inspirés entre autres des travaux de Xerox dans les années 70.)

o pior de tudo é que o linux me oferece a experiência oposta: eu prefico ficar digitando uma única vez coisa no terminal do que ter de ficar instalando um monte de cacareco no windows que não funciona

(mas entendo minha amiga moara)
o único jeito deu usar linux é se você🫵 vier na minha casa e instalar tudo e configurar tudo pra mim

Y obviamente no estoy diciendo que si tienes el Windows pirata eres mala persona. Digo que igual si vas montandole un pollo a tu amiga que aun tiene twitter mientras tu estas dandole tu tiempo, dinero y datos a los mayores lex luthor de hacendado igual es que simplemente te gusta hacer bullyng

the weird thing is that apple is unix based BUT it borrows a few things from the commodore amiga AND the company hates programmers for some reason/anyone who likes to repair stuff in general. so you cant do the things youre used to doing with linux OR windows or really anything else
