My next best is my Atari TT030 Workstation!  It is a great little machine.  I have not spent as much time/money on it as I have on my Amiga 4000, the Flagship Amiga model, but the Atari TT030 Computer is also be the Flagship Atari computer.  With a graphics card, extra RAM and large Hard Drive, it truley is a great machine.  The Falcon is also great but I hate the case. a TT type case would of been really nice...

Actually I wonder what would of really happened if the Amiga never was released.  IMHO, The Atari ST would also not exist.  As it was created/rushed to compete with the Amiga!  Also Multimedia would of lagged or maybe never existed.  Most likely it would of caught up but nobody seems to care that the Amiga did in 1985 what PCs did in 1990+.

Doomy, There was a Commodore 65 computer, a prototype.  Unless he just made a typo.

I guess when you were fiddling around with Windows 3.1/95 and playing Doom, you never heard about it. LOL

It was never released, but there are prototypes floating around.

The point of all this is, if the Amiga never existed we would of ended up with some different kind of computer.   I think it most likey would of been the Commodore 65 or a varient of it.  It was the next logical step.  Without the Amiga 1000, the Atari 520ST would probably not have seen the light of day.  I am sure Atari would of came out with a 130XE varient, or maybe the ST was in the works the whole time?  Not sure, was not there.  But from what I have read, the ST was a last minute ditch effort to get a 16-bit computer with a GUI out the door to beat Commodore's buying and release of the infamous Amiga 1000.  Atari used off the shelf PC parts to throw together the ST.  That is why it was release first. :)  It was a great computer too.  I own several models as well.
