The Amiga was the first computer I ever owned back in '89. I had used the C64s and Vic-20s at school as well as the Apple IIs but I always had to sit back and watch because my parents weren't college educated and couldn't see the merit in a computer besides games.
I learned to program on the Amiga and have been doing software engineering professionally for the last 15-16 years. Amongst the long string of companies I've worked at, I've notably worked for Google, Netflix and I now work for Facebook.
I still have at least 4 Amiga's in my office (3 assembled and ready to run)
