I went down the same rabbit hole after trying to rediscover amiga. At one time I had an a1000, a2000, a1200, an a3000 and two a500's, a couple monitors and more. I still worry I'll start again but so far have resisted the urge to buy another amiga.
I spent probably way too much money on upgrades, scan doublers, accelerators, software, parts, more parts and more parts. Its a never ending rabbit hole once you begin...
I had to move so I sold the whole load of machines to a friend. I replaced them all with two things 1) A cybernet aio pc, really a winae pc that boots straight to os3.9, and an AROS machine in a mini tower.
These just work. No expensive parts, no endless upgrades and tweaks.
But I do still miss the real thing. There is something really special about loading apps, games or demos on the real hardware and watching a computer that was 10+ years ahead of its time, going through its paces.
Magic in those custom chips. Emulation is like geek masturbation. Amiga is like REALLY good geek sex.
Anyone got an amiga I can have? Oh no not again!
