You can have it. That's why I collect retro.

I was a die hard from 87-95. Sometime around 94 or so, I recall using my Amiga with a 14.4k modem connected to a local unix dialup ISP, with the CSLIP->TCP/IP app and looking at one of the first websites in the US (I believe the browser was Mosaic), the Franklin Institute website in Philadelphia, PA.
it was difficult enough finding support in the US during that time period (I remember drooling over my Amiga Format mags and the the great hardware in the UK). Once 1995 hit, I jumped ship for a home built Pentium 100 (or 120 was it?) with 16 megs of ram, a soundblaster 16, 2x cdrom and found a PC version of lightware 4.0 (my favorite amiga app).
It was hard to look back, the Amiga seemed a bit antiquated even at that time. I think it was the 1024x768 High color desktop on what was then a big screen (17" CRT).
I do recall wolfenstein and Doom being the talk of the town and once Duke Hit with network support over IPX (plenty of Novell network in the mid 90's saw the IPX traffic peaking). as mentioned, then the PS1 came on strong and the Amiga wasn't quite as compelling with diminishing resources.
For some reason, I just can't forget this great computer (The Amiga 1000 is my alltime favorite) and have been collecting them for years now.
some favorites:
KGB Demo
9 fingers
Lightwave
DCTV (saw the first hires / hicolor photos at the time)
GVP A530 turbo (one of the coolest products for the A500)
