Amiga, omg Amiga. Best computer ever made during it's time. I owned a 500 (with an addon CPU 68020 14Mhz with FPU and the back up 68000 sat on top of that. That little board also had max memory installed 4MBs), 1000, 2000, 1500 and 3000.
I used to run Trinity BBS on 2 floppys, then upgraded to CNET when I got a 40MB HDD. I assisted with passing messages through FIDOnet. The gaming was awesome. Shadow of the Beast, It came from the Desert, Lemmings and the list goes on.

Amiga was a great comp. Atari ST was better, of course, but Amiga was all the way up there as a real close runner-up. Although I must say Altered Beast simply looked pimp on Amiga. On Atari it looked washed down and not sexy at all (that was before they found a way to display 4096 colors on the screen instead of the regular 16).
BBS, Fidonet... I haven't seen these words in many years. Fellow sysop here - ran a BBS on a 286 then on a 386 for quite a few years. Fidonet and Sparknet node, UUCP relay, and God knows how many group *HQ's. Good times indeed.
