How old are you?

[alx]

19 - kinda surprising to see I'm not the youngest person here, but that's definitely a good thing :-)

Used my brother's A500 a lot when I was younger, which is when the Amiga bug bit.  My first PC was a 486 though, followed by a 1Ghz Athlon system (now upgraded to a Athlon64 3000+).  I've got a slightly-expanded A1200 which is great for playing games on at uni.  Haven't exactly got the money at the moment for anything NG however :-(

Talking of which, are any students here on facebook?  There's an Amiga group there (with a link to A.org no less!) but only 23 of us there.

---edit---

Forgot the speccy!

[Nostalgiac]

sigh.. 39 going 40....

after the C64, a C128.. and then an A2000.

gradually upgraded to 40Mb/2Mb.. then an A2630 + A2320

And just 2 days back and still to arrive (eBay) an 2060/48Mb :-)

I'm 39.

My first computer at age 14 was a Commodore 64 that I saved up for after taking a BASIC programming class on an Apple II.  Adding a Koala Pad and its included paint program was my first foray into computer art.

I pre-ordered the Amiga 1000 when it was announced in 1985 and took home one of the very first ones with a green screen monitor!  I was disappointed that I couldn't view the Mandril hires IFF at 256K RAM that was circulating back then and almost immediately ordered the front plate memory upgrade to 512K.  Next up was a 1080 monitor and external floppy drive.

Sometime after Commodore released the Amiga 3000, they had a special "trade-in" deal where you could get $1000 off for owning a A1000 without trading in the actual machine!  I had to go with my boss to the controller of the company I was working for then to ask for a pay advance so that I could make the cut-off date.  The controller, visions of Lotus 123 in his head, tried to talk me into getting a PC instead!

This is the machine that really started taking me places.  I  eventually maxed out the RAM with 70ns ZIPs, 4MB/$200+ at a time, and bought a Retina BLT Z3 and 12x18" Wacom tablet.  ImageFX and Imagine took me beyond DeluxePaint.

At university they had a Video Toaster system with LightWave  that I was able to use a bit and then later I worked under a National Endowment for the Arts grant doing animation.  The NEA grant paid for an Amiga 3000 system with an OpalVision card.

I eventually put together my own Video Toaster Flyer system in an A4000 that was always overheating so I kept the lid off and trained a fan on it.  It looked like Frankencomputer with all the bits hanging out and the SCSI octopus for the audio and video drives.

I later sold the A4000 and traded away the A3000 for a Compaq Proliant server, a decision that I came to regret.  I kept the A1000 for memory's sake.  This was around 2000.

Now, six years later, I've started buying Amiga bits and pieces again to revive an idea I once had for an installation art piece, and to explore other tech that I couldn't afford back when it was all shiny...

Sorry for all the long wind...!

I see people are adding what computers they had, well I started off on the spectrum, stayed with that till 93 and then jumped on a CDTV, then moved to the PC in 94 and came back in the latter half of 94 after formatting the harddrive of the PC, I now use both PC's and Amiga's.
2 PC's (1x home, 1x work)
19 Amiga's
and a few others, like Sinclair QL's and such

Edit/// As of the 28th Dec Im 25
