My Amiga use story is a bit lenghty, but here it goes.
Started with a C= Vic-20, writing stupid proggies in Basic and saving them to tape. (A 1541 floppy drive is fast only in comparison to the tape...)
Then went up to a C=64, with 2 1541 drives, a tape drive I didn't touch if I had any other option, and a 1701 monitor. Lots of games, and subsequently lots of broken joysticks. :-D
Then I played with an Amiga 1000, managed to get her to boot into AOS2.1 with some romkicker, and a 20MB SCSI hard-disk. (Slapped into some wierd looking contraption on the side expansion slot, would have worked on an A500 in theory, but would need to be flipped upside-down)
Then the A500, which never made it past a floppy based WB 1.3 system. Used it for games and such I couldn't play on the 1000.
Finally, bought an A1200 from a friend of my brothers, who threw in an extra 500 and monitor as well. I sold the 500 and extra monitor, eventually upgrading the 1200 to what it is
now.
By the time I joined the navy in '99, it had a 68060 + 16mb RAM, a dataflyer SCSI card + cd-rom and a syquest drive, and an optical boing mouse.
In the navy, I was stuck with whatever I could fit on the ship, which was originally a used 486 monochrome laptop with windows3.1 on it. Eventually the 486 was float tested after an unfortunate crash, and is probably the only hope the little mermaid has of playing doom. (The only decent thing on it, though monochrome didn't do very well...)
Then I got a pentium III with WinME on it when I had an apartment. Not sure what happened to that pos, though. Eventually, I got a compaq presario 2100 with win XP on it, which I used until I got out of the Navy, and resumed Amiga1200 use. (Still have the laptop, thinking of gutting it for parts)
