   I agree, a lot of it has to do with discovery. My Amiga system was recently   
   featured in the Amiga subreddit on reddit.com and I had an explosion of   
   users, many of whom have continued to frequent the system.   
      
   My internet has been out most of the day and I had to explain to my kids how   
   when I was their age I would have to connect to another single computer by   
   using the phone line just to interact with others.
