Re: Your first ever Amiga experience?

I began as a true Jay Minor fanatic, not with that flakey (but often times kool) C64, but rather with an Atari 400. I spent a lot of time with my Atari and joined a small Atari 8-bit user's group finally in the early 90's. That is when I went to one of the user's houses and he showed me his Multi-tasking Amiga 500 which TOTALLY blew me away! Apple Macs were far from impressive and the 386's of the time were even less so. I had seen pictures of the Amiga running in old computer magazine's in the 80's and knew that if you were going to pick what computer to buy a game for you were HIGHLY suggested to go with Amiga over Mac or PC, but actually using an Amiga was something new all together!

 So as fate would have it, he aquired another 500 and sold it to me, after which I spent a lot of time doing OctaMED tunes, and trying to understand the OS. I eventually upgraded to a 2000 (hated it) 600, broken 3000 (sad story) and eventually a 1200 which was later stolen. So now I am stuck with emulation till I have enough flow to order my new 1200.

 I REALLY can not wait to see the future of Amiga OS, I just wish it could run on Mac Hardware so badly! :(
