     I'm at a Commodore gathering called SCCAN.

     Someone just powered on an Amiga 600 running the latest Kickstart 3.2! 👍

     @codewiz Magical! I stopped at 3.1 like ... 26 years ago?

     @phf I almost couldn't believe it when I found out: AmigaOS 3.2 was released in 2021 with Kickstart ROMs for all classic Amiga models.

     It was followed by two minor updates, and last month a "hot fix" was released with version 3.2.2.1.

     The default Workbench look hasn't changed substantially in 3.2, but there are various improvements throughout the entire system.

     For instance, the boot menu has a new "Trace Startup Sequence" toggle which lets you single-step through the shell commands and optionally skip any of them. ❤️

     Another participant came with an Ultimate 64 Elite, an FPGA-based board which fits in the original breadbin chassis and can emulate the 6502 at the mind-blowing speed of 48MHz! :commodore:

     Someone brought a recent issue of the Amiga Future magazine.

     Browsing inside, I found this detailed review of AmigaOS 3.2.2! :amiga:

     Since I didn't come with a real #C64, I asked #ChatGPT to simulate one for me.

     It worked surprisingly well, until we ran into a strange issue with the random number generator 😂
