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 had a friend who "convinced" me to buy a A500 in 1991 rather than purchase a PC.
It has waned off and on since that time. I always checked in every few months, but there were many months, years of "not much happening in Amigaland" and I was pretty turned off by the so-called red-blue war, ANN, etc.
Let's see, my next machine was an A1200 in about '96. I used my brother's A1200, his PC and my girlfriend's PC, and while at the university Unix, Sparc stations and PCs. I used to Telnet X window sessions to my Amiga from the university account back in the day...fun stuff! Man, NetScape was slooow!! I ran an array of emulators, Mac, Linux, etc. on my A1200. I began teaching myself Amiga programming as a hobby back in about 1999. Mainly just hacking scripts and the like prior to this. So, come to think of it, I guess you could say I didn't actually "buy" my very own first PC (3Ghz Pentium) until 2005 (geez...that seems hard to believe)! I've since added an Asus Core 2 Duo laptop and a Mac Mini for MorphOS of course!
