I have been a Amiga user for about 17 years, and before that I was a C64 user. One day I was invited home to a guy who had a A500, and he decided to show me what the Amiga was capable of, and I got very impressed by playing games like Lotus 2, Lemmings and Pinball Dreams. Then he showed me Deluxe Paint and I was even more impressed, and he continued with booting up a disk with OctaMed where he showed me that it was possible to make music in a rather easy way as well on the Amiga, and this by actually using REAL sounds!
He offered me to borrow his A500 if he could borrow my C64, and I agreed to this. A couple of months later, I was hooked and I decided to buy an Amiga, he then offered me to buy his A500 which was something I ended up with doing. Later this guy became one of my best friends, and he often came to my place for playing games and stuff.
Then in 1997 I bought a brand new A1200 with harddisk & Apollo 1240 accelerator, and during the years that followed, I upgraded my A1200 by towerizing it, buying a CD writer +++
I must admit that I use my PC most nowadays, but when it comes to my Amigas, I mostly use my A1200 since it's the most expanded one. But I regard my A500 as being the most important one to me, this is partially because it was my very first Amiga, but also because it once belonged to my friend who unfortunately died in a accident in 2003.
