Oh, and if anyone out there have a time machine, let me know.  I want a one-way ticket back to 1988.


I'll go back to 1990 then please :-)

That was the year that I really got into the Amiga. A friend at school had one and I told myself I had to get myself one as well. Luckily (?) another classmate was funny enough to shoot a rose-hip in my eye with a rubberband (oh the joy of kids) which, in the end, resulted in me receiving a nice sum of money (1000 old dutch guilders - about $500 back then) from his insurance, so I could buy my first Amiga.

So you could say I almost lost an eye to buy an Amiga :lol:

After a few years, I had expanded it with 3.1 ROMs, an A590 harddisk with 720 meg onboard, plus a few MBs of FastRAM.
The came the expansion of my collection with an A2000 and an A3000. Until 2000 I used my miggies frequently, but I needed a windows box for college and I got rid of all Amiga stuff.

A year ago it started itching again and I began a new Amiga collection. Thusfar this has resulted in my current collection which you can see in my sig.

Amiga will never leave my home again now... Ever! :-D
