At one time (not all at once)
I've had A1000, A500, CDTV, A1200, A3000, A2500, A4000D, T, PPC cards Flyer systems, and the CD32 with FMV.
The Amiga for me was the best option when I was young since I wanted to be an animator and wanted a new computer as I was outgrowing my C-64.
For pencil testing alone it was worth it.
I've sold all my Amiga stuff and will keep one A1200 that I'm rebuilding as my Retro games, tinkering machine.
Dunno if this is an addiction but why is it cool when folks collect Nintendo or sega consoles and the like... but weird to collect Amiga hardware?
I'm realizing that a REAL amiga can be quite a pain especially in the US where we don't have scart, and sourcing a modern RGB display is virtually impossible.
Even when I finish tuning this 1200 don't know if I'll hang onto it.
For those on a serious budget, yet wanting a great all in one AMIGA retro game experience get an XBOX mod it and you'll be in heaven. (Media center, usb support, games up the wazoo)Without the crippling windows OS a modded xbox is very Amiga like in spirit. There is even good hardfile support and you can use USB keyboard and mouse, built in ethernet, DVD drive 64 megs, component video out and decent CD32 support with a samsung DVD drive.
I recently took my Amiga drive image (dating back to my toaster days) and dropped it on my xbox, image fx worked, Distant suns, Final writter and HD loader games all worked great.
MY point here is that I'm moving onto mini-mig type devices and emulation, and support those initiatives as it seems clear officcial machines won't come out again.
