Agreed on leap

I went from a Commodore 16, Amstrad CPC 464 to Amiga 500. IIRC the Amiga was about £100 more than the CPC in the later eighties. I'm sure many a user could run off a list of their top 10 games. I still play Civ to this day, about the only game I play actually.

I went from an Apple IIc to an Amiga 500 and it was amazing. The first time I saw (and heard) Shadow of the Beast on that thing, it was unreal.

I also taught myself C on the Amiga, back when I was a teen. Fun times.

My C programming gene didn't kick in until I was in my 20s after learning web development and some scripting. I do remember wanting to, though.

Tried a little AMOS without much success
