Happy 20th birthday, Amiga!

The Amiga is now almost old enough to go bar-hopping. How cool is that?  Commodore introduced the much lauded Amiga 1000 on July 23, 1985.  I was a gawky teenager at the time, a pathetic fact that encouraged me to dream of owning one day and night.  That day kinda arrived; I eventually nagged my girlfriend into buying an Amiga 500 a couple of years later.  The Amiga offered a rainbow of color graphics and sampled sound in a world dominated by drab PC clones.  AmigaOS featured a windowed operating system a decade before Microsoft got its act together -- like a mac built for gamers, but for far less bling.  Not that anyone knew what bling was back then.
