Did you own one "back in the day"?
Did you buy one later in life (past the heyday of amiga's)?
What attracted you to it back then? What parts didn't you like?
If you bought one years later, what attracted you?
Did you expand them? Use it "raw" ? What did you do on it back then? Today?


No. Back then I had A500 and only knew about later models.
Yes, couple of years ago.
It looks adorable. Nothing beats 'pizzabox' and desktop case.
It had 256K expansion. I bought A590 and Alfapower (for A500 too).
I did nothing, just tried a game and one of those hdds. iirc, A590 wouldn't work (did the internal PSU hack and they say A1000 has weak PSU..).
I was a bit dissapointed that composite looks worse (has some well known bug) and that its so difficult to upgrade it. (my plan, ever since I bought it, has been to install KS ROM and some RAM)
