The "Commodore Amiga".

Without it you'd all be ranting about how cool your Mac's are...

Or we'd be flaming each other about homosexual marriage in America on Atari.org ;-)

Edit: Ohh yea. Well I've only ever had an A500 and an A1200, of the two I prefer my A1200.

The A3000 is my big fetish fantasy.

Amiga 3000(UX) :-D

[mikey2001]

I have an A1200, an A2000, an A3000UX and an A4000. Out of all of them I would have to say my favourite is the A3000UX although it is out of action at the moment!  :-(

I own an A4000D in tower, an A1200 in tower and another one in original case and an A600 also in original case. I've within the last year sold out 2 A1200, 1 A600, 2 A2000, 2 A3000 and 3 A4000 of my Amigas mostly becuase my I needed the money and I couldn't find usage for the machines. The best and sweetes have been saved and shows what I find to be my favourites.

As many others my personal favourite is the A1200 closely followed by the A4000D and A600. The A1200 simply because of it's size and it's expandability. The A4000D because of it's expandability and the A600... well... I don't know... it was my first Amiga and it's so small and cute. :-D

I'm buying an A600HD this weekend. Mainly cos they look cool, but also for old games. For serious Amiga stuff though I'm not interested in classics.. I use WinUAE for programming, and hopefully I'll have OS4 soon for my A1 sitting here.

A1000 - because it was a great machine the days it has been purchased, always wondering how anybody could buy an IBM-PC after the Amiga was available back that days
A3000T - because it was another great step, fast, expandable and nice look, still using mine -- this moment ;-)

[kvasarnomad]

the A600 because it so small and feels like a console-computer hybrid

[Crusher]

I just love the A3000 machines and especially my Tower  :-)

Poor thing. I've already seen someone gut one and put a pc motherboard in there. Sacriledge.

Putting an A1 Mobo in there would be scariledge too... :-(

I know the Amiga3000 was the last machine were the engineers put in everything they wanted. But to me my best amiga's were the A500 and A1200.

The A500 was cutting edge and powerfull in it's day, and inexpensive for what it was. Everything from Painting,DTP,games,music,word processing...

But the A1200 (while perhaps not as cutting edge as the A500, and not much faster)  Was so expandable, in such a neat little package, I started using it for games, and some Dpaint/wordprocessing...and ended up using it for amateur magazine work using pagestream, photoshop using a mac emulator (and all my graphic design college mates spend thousands on similar spec mac's) and lightwave/imagine work in the games industry. And I could still take it faster...if it wasn't for the fact I have a A4000T under my desk,not on the desk, it would break it

I liked my C= A4000, I spent over £1000 in 3 months to upgrade it with Mirage tower, Scandoubler, Mediator, Voodoo 5, NIC, TV card, CyberStorm PPC/060, GVP SCSI card, etc and it absolutely flew.  Way better than any of the PPC A1200's I had owned before.  But of course my Pegasos is orders of magnitudes better and faster again (and, surprisingly, more "Amiga-compatible" than my Amiga was, as it runs more things with less hassle/reboots etc), so I'd have to say that this is my favourite "Amiga" model.  
I also have a soft spot for the A600 though, as this was my first ever Amiga (I sold my SNES to buy one).  If the A600 had AGA (or better) and a CPU slot like the A1200 it would have been perfect.

My beloved A1200 Blizzard 1230IV with 38MB RAM, x8 SCSI CDROM and 4GB HD served me faithfully for 10 years before finally giving up in 2000.  Prior to that, 2 years with an A500 + 512Kb Expasion.

Now I have Cloantos unparalleled Amiga Forever.  It's superb and adaptable in ways my A1200 could never be....


....but it's just not the same.

[DanDude]

A4000T....I can use more HDs and use an additional Zorro card. :-)

[Morley]

Amiga 4000T ofcourse! If it could only arrive...maybe it's to big for the norwegian mail service? Hope they haven't used it to climb on or something like that..I hate receiving stuff in the mail :-o

But my A1200 with Blizzard and SCSI is still fun...it is cheap and the most expandable!

Yeah, but only in my second spare A1000, with the lower practically uselsess spec and slightly damaged case. I'll probably mod the case somehow to look like my avatar. Took a look on the internet for titanium, to bring off the effect.

An A1 board is the only upgrade that could do it justice. I'm keeping the other A1000 in pristine condition and when I move into my new place I'll have enough desk space to place them side by side.

The A3000 that I booted up just to post this message.

:-D
