Got the NYU Amiga 500 running today (generous gift of @cmuratori)… suddenly remembering how hopeless a lot of 80s and 90s computing was

At least the hopelessness is timeless. Today I feel like everything we need to use is broken, back then without Internet I could only play

Not create, cause no software, not learn because no one could teach me something

I don't remember the Amiga 500 being that unreliable... your 30% figure makes me think some hw part (or disks) have degraded too much.

It’s definitely fun to watch current students try to contend with the Amiga, the C64, and the Apple II.
