Technically my first girlfriend was a computer. Cuz I bought a Commodore Amiga off of a friend in college, and Amiga is the Spanish for a female friend, which I'm deciding is the same thing as girlfriend because it's funnier.
a computer is a type of girl

Kawa, are you making half-assed fake screenshots again?
Yes, and this time it's FNAF1 but on the Amiga.

🇺🇸 Let's embark on a journey through the captivating history and unique features of the Commodore Amiga 1000—a groundbreaking computer that left an indelible mark on the world of computing.
💾 Introduced in 1985, the Commodore Amiga 1000 heralded a new era of multimedia computing, boasting advanced graphics and audio capabilities ahead of its time. It quickly became a favorite among creative professionals and gaming enthusiasts.
💻 Designed by Jay Miner and his team, the Amiga 1000 featured revolutionary architecture with custom chips for graphics and sound, offering unprecedented performance. Powered by a 7.14 MHz Motorola 68000 CPU, it also ran the unique AmigaOS, renowned for its multitasking capabilities and graphical user interface.
🐕‍🦺 The Amiga 1000's case design was inspired by a lunchbox, giving it a distinctive, compact form. Notably, it's the only model featuring the short-lived Amiga check-mark logo. The case's interior even bears the engraved signatures of the Amiga designers, including Jay Miner and his dog Mitchy's paw print.
🎮 Standout features included the ability to display up to 4096 colors and play stereo sound—unmatched by other personal computers of its time. The Amiga 1000 left a lasting impact, influencing digital art, animation, and video editing industries.
🕹️ A powerhouse for multimedia production, the Amiga 1000 enabled creative exploration for artists, musicians, and video creators. It was also a gaming pioneer, with iconic titles like "Defender of the Crown" and "Lemmings" showcasing its graphical prowess.
🎨 In the summer of 1985, Andy Warhol received his first Amiga 1000 home computer from Commodore International and became an enthusiastic brand ambassador. He famously created digital artworks, including a portrait of Debbie Harry using ProPaint software onstage at Lincoln Center, demonstrating the Amiga's capabilities to a live audience.
🌟 Today, the Commodore Amiga 1000 remains a beloved classic among retro computing enthusiasts, embodying the spirit of innovation and creativity of the 1980s computing era. Let's celebrate this iconic piece of computing history!

do YOU want to cross-stitch like it's 1992? through the magic of emulation, now you can!
I found a copy of Cross Stitch Master (Commodore Amiga pattern program) in a giant ROM dump on the Internet Archive, and got it working! and honestly it kinda rules

can the commodore send e-mail
Which Commodore machine?
If someone has figured out a way to do it with one of the 8-bit Commodore machines, I will be impressed.
I'm sure someone has a DOS program that can send email, which could run from one of the PC compatible Commodore machines
I'm also sure an email client was developed for the Amiga at some point.
However, I've never tried, or discussed the concept with anyone who has likely done either of those last two things.

Figure I should show off my "CD32" I was playing on on stream today :3
My Amiga 1200 with a SquirrelSCSI and a SCSI CD-ROM player, and the SquirrelSCSI "CD32 emulation" drivers :3
Of course, it's not really "emulation", I think it just translates the CD control commands to use the SCSI bus or something!
It's so neat I've got this all and working so smoothly!!! 😊 I've got a couple of very affordable CD32 games ordered now too! :P

Qué lindo es tener amistades de las cuales podes ser vos misma. Amigas que más que amigas son como mis hermanas, las que están siempre. Cuando estoy mal sé que puedo recurrir a ellas, cuando estoy feliz es porque estoy con ellas. Ellas aunque no lo sepan me salvan, aunque no se los diga seguido las amo, y ojalá que nuestra amistad dure toda la vida porque me hacen bien y gracias por eso, gracias por ser parte de mi vida y hacerla un poquito más agradable y cálida.🤍✨

What is there to say about an Amiga 1000 that hasn't been said by people more qualified than I to say it.
This unit is more or less stock although showing no signs of life when I got it. The prior owner fitted a pistorm to it that unfortunately corrupted it's install and will need to be rebuilt but for the time being I have installed the MC68000 CPU in it and it came up immediately.
Here's a tip where my normal troubleshooting method backfired, the A1000 needs it's WOM board installed to do anything so stripping the system down to it's motherboard for testing will only render a brick.
On a successful POST as it is, the system will ask for it's kickstart disk and load from that. Then it asks for the workbench disk. which is the actual OS. Kickstart is the systems extended BIOs and is loaded into the WOM board which is then gated so it can only be read afterwards. Supposedly, once the WOM is loaded, even if the machine crashes, so long as it's reset and not power cycled, you won't need to load kickstart again, I have not tested this at this time.
Surprisingly using workbench is very easy if you are used to OS's like classic MacOS. However unlike the Mac, the disk drive has a mechanical eject button so no dragging anything to the trash can to eject a disk. Right now since I don't have any applications or games for it, I just have a booting machine and not much else.
A quirk of the system, I'm not sure if it's something wrong with my system or it's just how the A1000 behaves, it does not like an empty disk drive, if there's no disk present, it will seek the drive periodically looking for a disk. If a disk is present, it will try to read it and mount the disk on the desktop.
TO DO:
Acquire software and utilities
Get the Pistorm working and reinstalled.
Fix that sad 1084
Upgrades?
Long Term To Do? (Don't hold me to this list at all)
Custom expansion chassis?
