Same here too.
Of all the exotic kit I goggled at and lusted after at computer shows
in the mid-1980s when I was a student in London, I would have a tough
time deciding between an Apple IIgs and an Amiga 1000.
The Atari ST didn't even come close at the time - not until the Abaq.
But today, I have an Amiga 1200 with a 68030, 8MB of RAM and a hard
disk. I never play with it, of course.
So now, I long for an Apple IIgs...
I have an Atari 520 ST that I found in a bin, in the rain. It works fine
(or it did the last time I had it powered up.) I used it to rescue loads
of old BBS posts that were saved on Atari ST disks that someone gave me.
I'd love an Amiga. And a IIgs. Sigh.
