When did your interest in the amiga start? With what machine?

If it ever waned, when and how did it restart?

What machines did you go to afterwards/inbetween/in addition?

I was interested in Amigas but didn't actually go get one until I graduated high-school in 1993.  My first Amiga was an A1200.  I struggled to find documentation for the AGA chipset and AmigaOS 3.0 to program it.

My next machine was a crappy Pentium III-based PC in 2000 which I bought to try to use AmigaDE.  My dad still uses the Pentium III today.

The next system I bought was a MicroA1-c I bought in 2004 or so.  I bought it because I wanted to program AmigaOS 4.0.  I never did program it to do anything though.  It had core voltage problems and by the time I got them ironed out, I didn't have the desk-space to set it up.  It's been loaned out to another developer for a while now.

The next system I bought was a laptop with dual cores running Windows XP in 2006.  I installed Linux on it later that year and when I graduated college for the second time in 2007 it sat unused in my room for a long time.

For Christmas 2008, my parents bought me an intel Mac Mini.  It is my main computer now.
