Most/least fave amiga model?

[runequester]

The 600 is a funny thing. Back in the day, it was commonly considered a mistake by Commodore. But with the PCMCIA slot, it has some nice capabilities today that the more popular 500 lacks, such as easy file transfers.
I'd love to have one. Its kinda cute.

The A1200 is a great machine and IMHO the best Amiga ever, however, I've a soft spot for the CD32. I think that's a nostalgia thing.

Are you mad?

Did I mention (I thought I did?) that I love the fact the a1200 is always able to scale right down to its base cpu by holding '2' while booting your a1200+ppc setup? its so useful to play old games and demos. Coupled with relokick 1.4, everything can be forced to run. You cant do that on any of the other Amiga's. Also, its 256MB limit is nice, as is its clock port, sleek design, rf-output and much, much more. It really is a hobby machine pur sang. So many possibilites!

Favorite: A1200

Least Favorite: A500+/A600, pointess!!

Favorite is the A4000T.  I'd still love to have one.

I was going to berate the A500+, but really that's just a cost reduced A500, so that's not so bad, it's good business.

I guess I'd say the A600 was the worst.  It was underpowered and over the projected price. (it was supposed to be the A300)

IMHO, the A500+ could have held out until the A1200 shipped, saving the R&D and marketing costs of the A600.

I've never met an Amiga that I didn't like.  They are all still fantastic, can do almost anything  (Never owned CDTV, CD32, or a 4000).  Amiga was my first general purpose computer with a real OS and large spectrum of applications and abilities.


Some computers that put me off:

Timex Sinclair - cassette tapes and crude graphics

TI-99 - every  l e t t e r  in a text stream was a different color, rediculously expensive expansion, limited apps.

8-bit Ataris and Commodores - toy-like OSes

[X-ray]

A600 is the worst. I owned it for 2 weeks and sent it back.
A4000T has given me the best range of uses, but I have very fond memories of the A1200. The A500 and B2000 give me fond memories also, but in those days the novelty and awesomeness of the Amiga made an impression on me quite easily.
An A1200 with a Blizzard 060 and SCSI kit and internal scandoubler would probably suit me just fine, overall. My A4000T with PPC/060 is better spec than that, but it is a hulking brute and I haven't used it for a long time.
