Neither. I went from C64 to PC. :)

Neither, my first was a BBC Master Compact.

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?

I had an Atari 5200 for games, and a Commodore SX-64 for computing.

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.

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

I had an Amiga A500+ (which I upgraded with a massive 420mb HDD) followed by a towered A1200, with a 060 CPU (Back when 50mhz was fast!) and a PicassoIV graphics card), that cost a small fortune back in the day!

The Amiga 500 was my most favorite computer ever. I only wish that some co had picked it up when c= died. Well, somebody other than microsoft. Heck, even ms would be ok, but that'd just never happen. I miss lattice c. Not the best c compiler by far, but back then, it was soooooooooo cool... http://shazware.com/me/pcPast.html[^]
