I am also a new Amiga.org member from Illinois.. I'm up north in Rockford, Il. I'm also the treasurer of SWRAP, Chicago's C64/Amiga User Group.
I started out around 1990 with an Amiga 1000, then a 500, and then around 94-95 upgraded to a 2000. I still have both the 500 and the 2000, although considering I retired the 2000 in 1995 (needed a PC for Comp Sci degree in college) it's stats are probably rather anemic compared to most modern amigas:
A2000
m-tec 68020i accelerator
3-5 mb ram (don't remember exactly;)
2 external floppies, 1 high density
ks3.1 / workbench 3.1
now I just need a new scsi drive -- my old one died a few years back of "click death."
