Neither - I was programming professionally at this stage, so could afford a PC.

Atari 512 - later upgraded to the full 1MB.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
I upgraded mine so I could play The Secret of Monkey Island. The only problem was that the upgrade kit was a bit crap and ended up being slightly too tall for the case (as I remember it, it was a board that sat on top of the processor). So for the rest of my Atari ST days the case was slightly bowed and would rock back and forth on a flat surface.

Never had an Amiga... Atari 800XL... From there, I moved to an IBM PS/2-25. Still have my old copy of the IBM Basic Handbook... The little book that started it all.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Developer, Author (Guardians of Xen)

Amiga - ace machine :) Started with an A500+ and then later an A1200. Wasn't that keen on the first PC I had (well actually it was my dad's). The OLE integration between different apps was nice (then again it had 4MB of RAM compared to the 2MB in my Amiga) but I preferred Digita Wordworth to MS Word and there were loads of things I prefered in the Amiga OS (support for long filenames from the beginning, more sensible drive names as opposed to letters, etc). And of course the Amiga had fantastic graphics and games - 4096 colors on screen at the same time in the mid 80s and around 262,000 on screen at the same time with the later models in the early 90s. I never had an Atari but heard they had good audio hardware, maybe something to do with MIDI support?

Let the war begin! Speccy had more addressable memory that the Beeb or the C64, was cheaper, had more software and was the biggest selling machine in the UK!

Damn i can't remember all the arguments from back in the day. I do rememember that the wars went on for a good couple of years though so we must have had some material to go on about.

By which measure Fosters is probably the finest alcoholic beverage this country has to offer.

I can see a flaw in one of my arguments! :)
