When did your interest in the amiga start? With what machine?
What machines did you go to afterwards/inbetween/in addition?
Used and repaired all kinds of other machines in between but those are these are the ones I've owned.
VIC20->C64->C64C->Amiga 2000/8088BB->Amiga 4000/030+386BB->Intel 386->AMD K6--------AMD Athlon 64/X2/X4, etc.(Linux/Windows) BOOORING!!!!
My original interest in Amiga started with the announcement of the A1000. I read everything I could about it and planned for how I would convince my parents that I needed one for college. By the time senior year rolled around, Commodore had released the A2000. After all that planning my mom took little to convince.
I was allowed to order an A2000 with 8088 Bridgeboard for those lame MSDOS compliers I was going to have to run for my programming classes. I don't need to tell you all the thrill of your first Amiga. 3.5" floppies were a dream compared to the old 5 1/4" and a full GUI vs. load "*",8,1 with basic or peek and poke.
Once I got to school, I quickly decided I needed a hard drive - so I got the worst one possible on the PC side instead of SCSI - MFM if memory serves. Ran in on the briedgeboard and shared it with the Amiga. It worked but without finding Spinrite to fix the low level format on it all the time - It would have been useless. I graduated to SCSI a few years later.
I'm sure you all stopped reading a long time ago so I'l stop there. Other than I got one of the first Amiga 4000/030s at World of Amiga in NYC in 1993 and a 386 Bridgeboard. Carried them on my shoulder through the streets of NY back home.
I've never lost my interest in Amiga, although I use Windows machines on a daily basis. I still use my A1200, Amiga Forever and await the day that a new Amiga is released. I for one am interested in the X1000.
