i have owned a timex sinclair, ti99-4A, and c64
i was only an active amiga user from 91-99 when i used my a500 exclusively. prior to 91, i didn't know what an amiga was. i bought 2 a500's one for my dorm and one at home for weekend playing

in 94 i bought a cd32 game machine which was awesome to me. however lack of ntsc compatible games left me less than impressed(though i do own quite a lot of pal games for it.)
in 99 i had difficulty finding new games that would work on my a500 and the intenet only functioned if i turned off pics. since there were no new systems being produced i bought a compaq pc then a 2 gateway pc's. in the years since i have built 4-5 pc's for friends and family(2 for myself)
but still i yearn to use amiga os again since i liked that interface better than windows.
