Back in 1988 or so my cousin got an A500. It was the first time I layed eyes upon an Amiga and I was completely blown away by the graphics and audio of its games. When I finally got one of my own in 1991 I was in heaven. A wonderul A500 all of my own! Fantastic games, magazines like CU Amiga and Amiga Format with coverdisks chockfull of goodies, Deluxepaint, ProTracker, AMOS. The possibilities seemed endless and there was this great sense of adventure and achievement. I learned so much on my A500 that helped me professionally later (I'm in IT).
Today, the Amiga is primarily a nostalgia trip for me. I still love the feel of an A500 and the responsiveness of Workbench. Something I sorely miss from modern computers! I love collecting (boxed) Amiga hardware and software and reading the old magazines, checking out the coverdisks. Great fun and a getaway from hectic 21st century life
