AmigaOS 3.1.4 - Hackdot

I always wonder "why?". Like Haiku and other old tech projects I just can't see the sense of spending time and effort on dead tech.

Also, wow that is intensely ugly (but maybe that's just me).

Why do auto enthusiasts work on classic cars?

Retrocomputing is a hobby for some people. Maybe not you, but some people, myself included, enjoy reliving their youth by messing around with these ancient artifacts...

The AmigaOS may look ugly by today's standards, but it was beautiful years before Microsoft got to Windows 3.0.

I played with a C64 in high school, and spent my young adulthood with Amigas.

Everything was ugly before you had decent resolutions and 256 colors on screen.
