Of course.
I thought this was celebrating female friends I was about to say "Fuck yeah! I got many with benefits!"

well played, sir.
This is a public awareness day most necessary. I don't think I've ever met anybody that had or even had touched an Amiga.

I've touched a few, but not the computers.
Hey, maybe this will somehow help GOG get Amiga-y stuff here! I know, legal and licensing shenanigans...

Is it understood that Amiga emulators are legal but it's the actual games/ROMs that are the legal problem for GOG? (something like that?)
Still have the Amiga AND Pirates! Didn't know about the day though ... lol.
One of my biggest regret is not being able to save the money to get an Amiga. I had a good paying job and stayed with my parents, unfortunately I blew my money on C64 games, magazines, renting movies, and strip clubs.
A Commodore PET is also something I would have liked to have, they probably were available for cheap at that point.

One mint? So... that's like a couple of pennies right?

Still have my Amiga 500 (with memory card for a whopping 1MB RAM) and an Amiga 1200 with internal 250MB hard drive.
I wasn't at all into computers in those days - but I have fond memories of playing TOKI, DIANA SISTERS and NEW ZEALAND STORY on the schools Amiga.

Am I wrong, or did the amiga have the entire computer build into its keyboard...?
