It's the Toyota Hilux of the computer world. It now makes me sad that I sold mine after getting my first PC (a 486DX) about 20-odd years ago. :(
:'( Loved my Amiga.
And when the Cylons attack that school will be the only one left because it is still using that computer.

Same here. We started with a 500 and then up-graded to a 600 HD.
They don't make 'em like they used to!
I recall my old C64s (ended up with two eventually) seemed like they could run indefinitely. If it weren't for the keyboard keys dying on them. :(
My Amiga was like a part of me. Something my girlfriends really enjoyed. ::)

Nudge nudge, wink wink.....say no more, squire!
Was she into...photography? Eh?
I also started with an Amiga 500 and upgraded...that machine was so badass, in 1990. There was nothing like playing the latest Psygnosis games on that machine...the Shadow of the Beast music still loops in my head. And Cinemaware titles like Lords of the Rising Sun, Defender of the Crown and Wings!
Rocket Ranger FTW!
I remember the first time I saw that load up on a buddy's Amiga back in '89 or so. So hawt was that game. :smitten:
Never played it :) I did play the other Cinemaware games to death though.

Paradroid. Dropzone. Rescue on Fractalus, the list goes on..........
Remember the Power Box that was hooked to the Disk Drive that was hooked to the computer that was hooked to the giant Color Monitor? That displayed, what? Eight different colors? ;D I looked behind every bush and tree in Might and Magic I.
