I probably don't even need to comment as you all know what my preference is; WinUAE!!!

Back in the day I had a second hand expanded A500 (512KB Chip & 512KB Slow RAM). Unfortunately after a few years it started dying...

If it wasn't for WinUAE my Amiga days would have been forgotten; I was very happy when I discovered this back in 2003.

Also, as others have said:

I don't have space or money to buy real hardware.
Hardware is falling and will not last unless you keep throwing money at it.
No need to have numerous different real Amiga's to get the full range of games / demos working.
I can emulate loads of different stuff for A500 / A1200 / CD32 / CDTV / AmigaCD etc.
