8 months ago a friend asked me Have you seen an Amiga 1200 for sale at...? I had heard of Amigas, but Never had seen one. After the Spectrum 48 and Commodore 64 I went directly to the Megadrive and later to Pc's. When I first saw it I liked it, then I joined this forum and I'm beginning so, any problem? ... see my signature :)

Me for one, the Amiga was first launched in the USA in 1985 under the name Commodore Amiga in 86 it was renamed the A1000. Me and two mates had pre ordered ours in 85 as part of the first consignment shipped to the UK and were as far as I know amongst the very first A1000 users in the UK at the very end of 85 start of 86.

I am impressed, then I guess you know what a GBA1000 is then, managed by the luck of the devil to open AmiBay 2 minutes after what I believe is the first working GBA1000 board was advertised for sale on that site. Obviously it is now winging its way to the uk :-)

I think I got my first Amiga (An A500) back in 1990 after being a Commodore 64 and 128 user for around 3 years or so..... so that makes it 20 years now... once an amigan, always an amigan ;)

I fell in love with the Amiga at least 1 year before it was released.

I have been an Amiga user since the day it was first released.

I remember buying my A500 in '89 at Grace Bros. Maroubra Junction (I guess only Australians will know where that is/was)
 
I took it home and at first I wasn't sure I'd done the right thing after having owned a C64 for so long... didn't take long to get over that though :)

So give or take a couple of months and as it's nearly the end of 2010 and almost 2011 it's actually just past the 25 year mark thus the 25+ option and for those in the states who bought the very first batch ever produced it's definitely 25 years + for them... :)

Bought myself an A2000 back in 1987 with the money I'd saved after doing Basic Training in the British Army.  Well, it was either that or squander it on beer and loose women.  :D

I've been an Amiga User since 1985 and I've never used anything else but an Amiga at home as my computer and I never will... I doubt many can also claim that YES of course I know most of you are thankful you're not in this tiny faction... but it sure feels cool from where I'm sitting and that's a fact :)

Got my first Amiga in late 1986. Our Commodore user group started supporting the Amiga in late 1985, so I started using them before I bought one.
I was actually crazy enough to buy an A1200 when they were first released! Bought the 10th unit that a Glen Burnie (Baltimore) Amiga dealer got in. Man that thing was expensive!

Hm... interesting. It seems that many long term users got the first Amiga somewhere between 1987 and 1989. Like myself... ;)
