 Commodore Amiga - John Boy
www.theguardian.com/games/2024/apr/26/my-undying-love-for-the-painfully-uncool-amiga

In another topic I recall Zippy lamenting the fact that he no longer had his Amiga. I feel the same about the A1200 I deliberately left in the attic when I moved 20 years ago. At work we must have had one of the first models, an A1000, imported into the UK. We used it for overlaying captions and animated graphics onto video programmes, long before you could do that with a PC. I wrote about it for a magazine and got a journalists discount on an A2000. When that went pop, I replaced it with the A1200. The A1000 and A2000 both had separate keyboards. I also used a PC at work, but didn't buy one until I retired. I almost bought a Mac instead, but they had so many models at the time that I thought they might bust.
