I remember a computer store down my the movie theatre me and my buddies used to frequent as teenagers. One day after the Saturday afternoon movie, I wandered in there and they had an Amiga 1000 side by side with an Atari ST.
I fiddled around with the ST for a bit, then the A1000 caught my eye. Needless to say I was in love, heh. I simply couldn't figure out why anyone in their right mind would buy that ST with the A1000 being right beside it, lol. Was a few years after that before I was able to get my hands on an Amiga, which was my first A3000 16 mhz machine.
Needless to say I got hooked on them and had a half dozen Amiga systems before C+ folded up, which forced me to the PC side of things.
