New video! I reviewed a pre-production version of the new mechanical Amiga keyboards from A1200net. These are suitable for most Amiga models and fit both the new replacement keycaps and the original keycaps, retaining the original look and feel of the machines.

I suppose I should post something introductory now that I'm on my own instance.

I'm a Linux lady who used to work in COBOL development and assorted legacy systems management gigs.

Nowadays I make videos and occasional blog posts about Linux and vintage/retro tech. Entirely supported by viewers like you (no sponsors as of writing). Links in bio.

Are we still doing hashtags?

Is #TheA1200 worth picking up for a guy who a) never had an #Amiga, b) would love to potentially tinker with development, or just exploring the vast library of stuff (beyond the built-in). I have "TheC64" and I think it's pretty sweet, but I understand the limited corner of the retro universe this is intended to fill...

In other words, I know it comes with Workbench, but -- hardware and ports aside -- can I treat this as a "real" Amiga, like, with a persistent USB drive or whatnot?

These are questions I need to know before pulling the trigger. Otherwise I'd rather put that money towards the real thing.

New video! I'm talking about boot selectors for the #Amiga showing off a DIY method and then trying out the #FireFloppySwap500, which is a super deluxe solution.
