Back when the Amiga 1200 was released, my access to computers was at school (I think there were some RM machines, and some BBC Micros but that's all) and a family friend had an Amiga 500 which blew my mind.
The Amiga 500 really kickstarted my interest in computers and I got heavily into PCs around 1996.
In retrospect, had I been a serious Amiga user back then, I think I would've been a bit underwhelmed with the A1200.
Of course, I now own an A1200
