If I said the word "Amiga" around here, some would start looking around for the girl and the rest would not understand at all. I have nothing to hide because there is no one around here who would even know or be interested. If anyone notices my Amigas at all, I just tell them that they're my "art computers" and I use them for special graphics. There are 3 PC laptops and one Mac laptop as well as an Atari Mega ST and a whole lot of other equipment in the same room so they just blend in with the crowd so to speak and the only time anyone would ever notice them is if they came to visit when I was actually working with one. If I ever got any scepticism, I could just show them how much my Amigas were worth and justify them as an investment. How much computer gear from the 90s is worth much these days? I have Amiga gear that is worth 3 or 4 times what I paid for it a few short years ago.
A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.
