Yes. I miss all my Amigas, I wish I knew what I know now back then, I would have been able to repair and keep all of them.

A1000 (1994-1995)
A500 (1996-1997)
A2000 (1997-1998)
A600 (1998)
A1200 (1999-2002)

Wound up selling my A1000 to get an A500 which ended up being faulty. It wouldn't read any disks when the monitor was switched on.

I had an A2000 with a 'Flash2000' supercharger card that I killed trying to mod in 1997, I can't remember what the mod was, but it involved a SCSI terminator and I cooked the power supply traces and lost access to RAM. I was 13 at the time

I loved my A600, but wound up selling it in a garage sale after I got my A1200

The A1200 I bought suddenly lost the ability to display the colour blue and eventually stopped booting from the harddisk.

I also had a drawer full of at least a thousand floppies that I've collected since childhood that I literally threw away, a lot of them were really special. There was a disk I remember called "The Alliance Anti-Virus Collection" - One of the tools on it would add a jingle and scrolling text to your "insert workbench" disk screen. I think it was called Sector Protector or something

Better days, man
