Many time ago, Spring '85, I think November....

Did not get my A500 until late 1988 but bought Amiga World #1 in 1985 and wanted an Amiga for a long time. Was glad to sell the C-64 since Amiga was so much better. Read about Amiga in RUN magazine before it even came out. Would have bought Amiga no matter what company it came from.

Saw my first Amiga in '85 but got an Apple //c for X-mas that year.  Sold the //c in the summer of 1989 and got an A500 (still have it) with a 1084s.  Bought a friend's A2000 in 1993 (with 50mhz 030 GVP combo), sold the 2000 in 94 (still have the gvp).  *Worked hard during those off years 1994-2009*

Returned to Amiga this year and bought a "new" 1200 and a  "new" 4000T in the way.  Good to be back!

Must have been 85 or 86 or so... a 1000, which I still have.

Sure, i Still having the C64/128/SX64. (well. my signature said)..

I know many people came from Apple, Atari 8bit (i knew many people), and PC. And not forget a some little frustrated Atari ST users!.

I remember, some PC Users when seeing any Amiga Aplication, video, music, or game, sometime ask, "Wich kind of Video or Audio Card has this Computer..".. do you remember something like this in those years?.. Sound familiar to you?

Early 90's after I got out of the Navy. I liked my brothers A500, so I went and got the first Amiga that came up in the classifieds which was an A1000.
Amiga 3000D UP and running! Hear that clicking. 8)
Amiga 3000D & 4000D in storage sadly.
