I didn't realize that I've been away so long - since January when I sold my 20 year collection of Amiga gear. In an Amiga funk. I'm back on Amiga Forever/AmiKit.
In 1990 I decided to find out what kind of computer I could afford. 286's were discounted because of the new 386SX's - only $2000.00! Macs were, of course much more - I have blotted that out in horror. They were both capable of.... well, nothing. Adding numbers, playing script games, etc. No, there wasn't an etc.
Then I went to a now defunct electronics store in a local mall and saw my first A500. Holy ####! $500.00 and it could do EVERYTHING and didn't need a monitor! I guess your first love is always your favorite. Over the years I bought 3 more in case it needed parts and they were not available commercially.
I outfitted the 500's with all sorts of fluff.
Then the C= A1200's came out and I bought one, and then an Escom and loaded them up big time.
If I had to choose, I'd pick an outfitted A1200, but that A500 knocked my and everyone I showed it to's eyes out.
I can't choose.
