Most/least fave amiga model?

Fave: Without doubt, the CD32. Small, perfectly formed and most fun to use Amiga I ever owned.

A close second would be my Franken1200, which gave me many, many years of service through numerous upgrades and hacks.

Least: A500, because no desk I could get a hold of that fitted in the front room was able to provide adequate space for the thing. That and the fact that floppies wore out, usually on the last disk on a long game that you were but moments away from completing.

Having just watched Gran Turino starring Clint Eastwood, I read the above with his voice saying the words.

Class.

As for why? I was somewhat stuck for a firm fave. The CD32 beat it out in the end, but it wasn't by much. Consider it an honourable mention.

When it ran well, I preferred it over the CD32, the problem is, as others have mentioned, that the harder I pushed the hardware and the more hacks I added, the less stable it became. Which was in the end why the CD32 won out. Even with it's lowly 8Mb expansion and original 020, it was a fine machine that gave me far less issues than the 1200 did.
