Re: What's your fav out of all Amiga models?

My A1000.  It had a great keyboard, a neat keyboard garage under the CPU, and had a quiet power supply.  I had it with a 1080 color monitor, external 3.5" and external 5.25" drives, an Access Associates (Allegra) 2 MB RAM Side Expansion module, some kind clock/macro device that fit between the keyboard and keyboard port.  I used it with DeluxePaint, DeluxeMusic, ProWrite, ProPage, PageStream, Analyze! and Softwood File.  Also had Digiview complete with Panasonic video camera and light stand.  Wrote many songs with DeluxeMusic.  Published a couple newsletters with both ProPage and PageStream.  Had a Supra 2400 Baud modem and used NComm to BBS (also a Genie subscriber).  All on Workbench 1.3.

I eventually moved to an A2000.  It was more practical because it had a hard drive.  But that power supply was a bit noisy.  I had an AMax board, A2630 accelerator and A2320 flicker fixer (used with a Sony 1303 multisync).  Also moved to Workbench 2.05.  This set up was better for desktop publishing.

I have acquired various other Amiga's and used AmigaDOS 3.1 thu 3.9.  I also used tried some nextgen OS's on spare PC's like Amithlon and AROS, as well as WinUAE.  But that first A1000/WB1.3 is still my favorite.
