I first got started in home computers by building one from magazine plans back in the late 70's. Didn't feel up to writing an OS for it, so I bought an Atari 800. The Atari was really the ancestor of the Amiga. It was mainly the graphics that moved me to Amiga.
I especially like the productivity software. You could produce some amazing stuff without having to be an expert in some cryptic pc program. Deluxe Paint, Deluxe Music, Videoscape... We even made a TV commercial with Videoscape.
I guess I'm still around because the machine was so important to me in those days... gotta see how the story unfolds. ;-)
