    Sorry to hear about your dad. Eventually losing our parents is part of the natural order of things; nevertheless, it's still hard losing our folks.

    Congratulations on the 60k milestone hope to see that youtube plaque soon. I'm not watching a nerd I'm watching a guy reminding me of my teenage Amiga days and the best gaming days of my life.

    My first Amiga was the 500+ too, it ended up with 8 megs of ram, a 20mb hard drive (HD8+) and with CD access from a CDTV via a home made Parnet cable. I had Parnet installed on the a500+ but I booted parnet on the CDTV side using the Weird Science network CD. Good times.

    I miss my old Plus/4, so many great memories with that machine! Unfortunately mine died back in the 80's.

    @Dan, thank you for your elaborative answer! While kids nowadays might consider your computer monitor "job" as a kid - "a chores" - my guess is you were one of the happiest kid in the school back then.

    Hi mate. Nice to see your videos this decade and you are a start point for me long time ago. Wish you the best for your life and have a nice summer too.

    HUGE Congrats on the 60K subs Dan. So awesome and very well deserved. I always reference yourself as one of the huge influences in getting me back into Amiga and also into making UA-cam vids. Your love for the A500 is so very relatable. My only regret is when you upgraded to an A1200, I jumped instead into PC at that point. We've lived the alternate universe lives between us I guess lol. Keep up the great work mate. Never stop.

    I ran my amiga through the 90s. Didn't buy a PC until 2000. But in the later 90s, much of the work I did was using an ATOnce PC emulator card, since all my work and school stuff was pc based. but still.... technically an amiga. Spent much time on that amiga archive though.

    When you mentioned the lack of sentimentality for music released today (files basically) it reminded me of some my oldest PC files and just looking at the date is enough to give me nostalgic feelings. It's because it records the exact _time of day_ too I think, as it can take you back right to the moment you saved it. I have a few old Amiga files too and whilst I didn't have a battery backup, I gave the files dates and man, when I look at those dates I feel old!

    When I first encountered the Retro Hour podcast many moons ago I always envisaged you and Ravi sat in studio 2 of a certain "production facility" down the bottom of City Link :-) I worked there back when it was named after a vital organ rather than a precious jewel ;-) Keep on truckin', me duck. Congrats on the almost 64K - you missed a trick there! ;-)

    Condolences on the loss of your dad, not sure if I already posted that. 2020 was pretty much of a blur for me. What an insane year. I lost one of my nephews, quite suddenly.

    I once wrote to the guys that make the 1200 cases, asking if they could make a mini cd32 case, that we could put a raspberry pie or something similar. They were kind enough to write back and said they would have news in a near future. I haven't seen anything, but who knows, maybe they will do it.
    Regarding the mini Amiga, whoever has the rights don't need to put games on it. That would make it more difficult to do because of copyrights. They just need to bring it out and it needs to have an USB slot on the back. :)
    Congrats on the 60K.

    Get a real job! 😂 Seriously, one of the best channels on the 'tube, alongside The Retro Hour podcast. Never missed an episode since I found this and binged the ones I missed. +1 for being from Notts - since emigrating to near Cambridge, it's nice to hear people speaking properly. Throw a few 'ayup's' in and this channel will be unstoppable.

    Congrats on 60k Dan! I really enjoyed these Q and A's. Good to hear you're a fellow Midlander, though obviously West Midlands beats East Midlands :-)
    Actually, I do wonder if the Amiga was more popular in the Midlands as several amiga youtuber ls seem to be midlands based.

    One of my favourite demos on the Amiga are this one. ua-cam.com/video/L67Pqq7CukM/v-deo.html
    But at 2:45 it start to get very interesting. Especially because of the music.
    I love the voice of the girl singing.
