Granted, I'm a little late to the party here, but I feel the need to defend my Miggy. So En Garde!
I own 2 A500+'s, one I bought cheap (even though it came with a hard drive), and one which was given to me. Both of them have survived numerous moves (at least 7) and are still in perfect working order. Freakin' tanks, these things. I tell ya.
I can play games, I can program in a number of languages (ARexx being my personal favorite), I could even jump onto BBS's (back in the day) and raise a little hell here and there.
Sure, it wasn't the be-all and end-all Uber-Komputer (insert umlauts over every other vowel there...), but it sure isn't the "Worst Amiga Ever!!!11 OMGWTFLOL!!!"
(sorry...that's my tween-ager AOL-user impression...)
Blah blah blah...anyway, yeah. You get the picture. That little machine rocks! To the point where my son (who grew up with it) begged me to install AmigaForever on his PC.
Boy's a chip off the old block. Hoo hah.
