I already spilled my guts on my first (computer) love affair here on A.org (A1000 that my parents chipped in half for Christmas '87), BUT... what's ironic to koaftder's post is that my dad had a friend that was an Apple rep. Literally had a Volvo wagon jam packed with various Mac computers, accessories, etc. Anywho... in my teens, I had asked him to check out my new computer. It was an A500 with 1mb ram, a Perfect Sound digitiser, external DD and a 1084 monitor. Showed him a few demos, multitasking and such, how easy it was to digitise audio, the game Sinbad, etc. Needless to say, even though he was sort of a brainwashed Apple guy, he was VERY impressed with what he saw. I remember him taking the mouse and moving it around very quickly and getting a charge out of that. As if he expected the computer to crash or something. Or maybe he was impressed with the refresh rate of the display. I just remember thinking, WTF? lol 15khz is barbaric, but I've never, EVER seen smoother video displayed on ANY computer than the Amiga.
