When the A500 came out I had the Commodore 64, and could not afford the A500 at the time.
Some years after I got an A600 to start of with and found that a whole new computer to handle. With Workbench discs to ME at the time was unheard of.
The first ever Amiga magazine I bought was Amiga User (I think??) before I got the A600 I had to wait 2 weeks before I got the money to buy it with Interword on the front of the page, still got the magazine.
Then after a few more years I got the Amiga1200 with an Apollo Turbo accelerator just after that, then I had the Mediator and a Tower Case but alas hard times got me by the throat and I was forced to sell the Mediator, but still got he Power Tower.
I also use Amikit and to me that is the fastest type of Amiga I use. But having said that In my personal opinion you cant beat the REAL thing. Over the years I have had many many types of keyboards both Oric Atmos 48k, ZX Spectrum 48k+, ZX Spectrum+3, C16, C64, C128, PC and I have to say in all honesty that the A1200 keyboard is the best I have ever used. I wont use Aros yet until it has more bugs removed. I have never used Amiga Forever so I cant say.
So for now its my REAL Amiga 1200 I still to this day and Amikit now and then if I am on the PC. The Amiga is the only computer that I have real pleasure out of most used is Amos Pro, FinalWriter 97, Dpaint 4, PPaint 7.1b, TurboCalc 4.0, and HI-soft basic.
I do not think that the Amiga will ever die out the following is far to big to let that happen.
So for now its Amiga 1200 to a HDMI TV 19" RGB connector, next week I shall get a Amiga VGA adaptor from Amigakit.
I lost my Dpaint 5 discs a long time ago so have to use Dpaint 4 but still even that is great to use. I could go on and on about the Amiga as I am sure all of us could do.
But we all know that the Amiga is the best computer of all time. Never mind the all powerful
PC's that are in use today, the Amiga is the Amiga and can not be replaced.
Mike.
