I thought I'd throw this one out there to get a snapshot for my Amiga time capsule.
That's such a tough question. When I think of Amigas I think of the wedgies. I had never seen any of the high end systems until I started collecting them. My first Amiga was a 500, then later a 600. These two have a special place in my mind, though when the 1200 was released I would have sold my soul for one. I didn't get one until 2001 when I started expanding my Amiga collection.
I think I'd have to say the Amiga 500 is my favourite. I think it's the one machine that made the Amiga a highly sought after home computer in the late 80's and early 90's. Some think of it as a gaming console, though I'd admonish anyone who limits it by characterising it as such. To me it seemed so far in advance of any of the home computers of the time, at least until the Atari ST came along, loathed as I am to say that. By the time the 1200 hit, home PC had already closed the gap, so it didn't seem as miraculous to me by comparison. The little beige beasty is the first thing I think of when I hear or see the word Amiga. 8-)
