Did anybody here not get an A1200, CD32 or A4000 in the early-mid 90s?

[zipper]

A500 1991 - never got A1200 but towerised my 500 with Blizz 2060 + PII+ / PIV etc etc. Finally got an A4000 late 90s, then towerised with 060/PPC233 , CVPPC and Prometheus / Voodoo3...

I had only had an A600 at the time. The A1200 followed later in 1998.

I bought my first A4000 in 1996, it was already a second hand, with Cyberstorm 060 mk1 and picasso2 card… I paid 500 French Francs for it which was about 90€…
It was only 4 years since I had my 1200/1942 combo bought new in 1992…
I still have the 4000… and the 1200.

I was given an A1000 in '86 and went straight to Windows terminals @Uni in the early '90's.

[AMIPEGUSER]

I bought my first Amiga 500+ in 1991, my A600 in 1992 and my A1200 in 1994.
I still have them all here, but my the board of my first A1200 is in my Elbox Tower with Blizzard PPC since 1998.
All other Models like CD32, A2000, A2500, A3000T, A400D, CDTV, A500, any two others A600 and A1200 are bought later.
I bought my A4000 from a Ex-College in my firm in 1999/2000, when he left Amiga for In that Time 400 Marks/130 GBP.!!!!
The A3000T I get as a gift from a closing Amiga Shop here in Berlin in 2000/01 because I helped the owner to renovate the shop before he left.

I bought my first Amiga, an A1200 in 1997. I had it until 1999 when I caved in and bought a PC instead. In 2004 I bought an A1200 again and have kept it since

Nah, at the time Commodore went bankrupt so any possibility of getting an A1200 went up in smoke right there (I had to rely on my parents, being a poor kid at the time).

But my parents were already eyeing a PC anyway. My uncle was an early IT engineer and I'm pretty sure they had a little chat about where the world was going and wanted to get a PC in the house to expose me and my brother to it early on to get a head start. And now here I am.

Fun fact: Escom and Amiga Technologies sold them 'new' up to at least 1998. See here: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php...57#post1633457

I only read about that in magazines, I never really saw any physical Escom machine at any point.

[Megalomaniac]

Not sure I did either, even the Escom shop in town only sold PCs AFAIR. If even they didn't believe in the Amiga, why would I? Sad times, because I still found Amigas nicer to use than PCs in the same price range, at least until Windows 95 was established for everything.

yes, A1200. middle 90ties.
