I really liked Google+. I wanted it to thrive. When it was there, I used to spend equal time on Instagram & Google+. Its UI was nice and clean. I rarely encountered any hatred or negativity on it. Pressing the +1 button was satisfying.

Forty years ago today, the Commodore Amiga 1000 was released to the world. With its unprecedented graphics & sound capabilities, powerful 16-bit CPU and custom chipset, and UNIX-like multitasking OS, the Amiga was a truly revolutionary system for its time. And, many are still in use to this day, with the platform seeing new software and hardware development from month to month.

I presently have three, myself. :-)

Happy 40th, Amiga!
