Shoot, I threw out a couple of boxes of Amiga stuff (including 50+
floppies of software) when I moved at the end of last year. :(

I had an A3000T/040 for a while, quite an upgrade from the A2000/020 I
used for most of my Amiga-using days. I bugged my boss at the
Commodore dealer so much about getting a 3000T that  he went and asked
the head of Commodore Canada if they had any at a World of Commodore
show (must've been in early '94?). It turned out they had a demo unit
back at the warehouse they could let me have "cheap" (I think it was
still over $1500)...

When I left the Commodore dealer in late '94 and moved to a startup
ISP I had similar distractions to yours, but with x86 BSD (first BSDi,
then FreeBSD). I lusted after Sun and SGI hardware, but they were
always too expensive to buy for myself.

I still run far more FreeBSD on my own hardware than anything else.
