Anyone with Amiga 1000 or 3000

The A1000 is a quite nice machine with about 1.5 - 2 megs of total RAM.  I had one in the 90s and I viewed it as just an OCS machine to play games on. I ended up with sidecar hard drive on it.  I see it as more of a nostalgia machine, I'm not really into upgrading them beyond kickstart 1.3 and a hard drive.  I realize that some people have found ways to accelerate them, wedge memory in them, or have a rejuvenator board, but I tend to like them mostly "stock."

The Desktop A3000 is really nice, I still have one, and I think it's right near the pinnacle of development/sophistication (architecture wise) on the Amiga.

Actually the _only_ amiga I haven't yet owned is the A3000T ... and I wish I would've had the cash to get one years ago.

powermonger stated it pretty well - as to the differences/advantages of the A1k/A3k/T.  

It basically just depends on what your philosophy is -  I was able to use my A1200T/PPC/060 through the mid 2000s to do all of my computing work (internet/web/image processing/email, games. demo watching, etc).

Today, using an amiga for modern tasks is nearly impossible (on a native amiga - argue all you want!), so I have since sold all that and I do keep an A1000, 500, 2000, 3000.   I keep them because of the memory of them, not specifically because of their capabilities anymore.

Of those, the A1000 is the nostalgia machine - unique design, will run everything through the heyday of the amiga.  A2000 probably the most expandable amiga, I keep it around for video toaster, bridgeboard (vortex 486), and also games. 3000 - I believe it is the most elegant Amiga design, and was basically the "end of the line" development-wise for the amiga. Yes, I'm quite familiar with AGA, and it was an 11th hour compromise.
