I Bought my first Amigas this year, in february.
I had an Atari 520ST when i was a kid and was actually looking to buy one when i stumpled upon an ad for three amigas. It was hard to find any Ataris for sale so I thought "Why not, I never used an Amiga before".
 
So I bought two A500 and a A600 as a package together with some books, a genlock, 3 external disk drives, a handheld scanner and some other stuff like cables. Just 100 euros for all!
About a month after I bought two A1200, and an ACA1230 Accelerator.
 
So I went from zero to five Amigas in about a month =)
 
No regrets! Oldschool is fun!

Now that you have been using the Classic Amigas for a few months, are you still looking to buy an old Atari, or have you decided that it is more fun to own and use your Amigas to satisfy your retro-computing urges?

I still have my old Atari. But it's just the computer, no cables, no floppy drive, no power supply.
 
I was thinking that i might try to modify an amiga power suppply, buy a cable to connect to my SCART equipped CRT, and use a floppy emulator with sd-card that i bought for my amigas to get the old Atari running again.
 
But it would be of no real use to me, the Amiga platform feels much more alive these days than the Atari. So if i do it, it's just because it's doable, I probably wouldn't use it much.
