Nope. Judging by my own experience, I have great reminiscences of my times 
with Amiga. However, after spending next few years with PC and 24-bit 
graphics, I wasn't so glad running Amiga emulator - it was nice, but 
definitely time did its job on this computer. I may repeat this as leisure 
activity, but there isn't too many things that I could do with Ami while 
moving myself forward. Most of those things I could also do on Linux.

One cannot bath twice in the same river.

Oh my :-). If I read you well, this suggests that we don't exist.

Ok, maybe _I_ do exist. Therefore I must shine. Or be shined through... 

Wow. What shines through me?
