My dad, my classmate's family, and I all had one in the early '90s. An old friend collected (probably still does) them and had a variety in his closet. I think we can safely say 'at least around 20' now.

Dad was also in a commodore user group back before the modern internet. Those meetings were always fun.

I can definitely account for 1.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn't love me enough.

Put me down for 0 too because we were poor.

Put me down for one Amiga 1000 (which I still have with the 2MB expansion), I found a used one for sale and snagged it for $300 (before the A500 or any other models were released). I thought it was a great deal.

I had an A500 and the 40MB drive was as expensive as the computer.

I remember when me and a friend both had C64s and he got a 20MB HDD for it. He said "bring your floppies over and we'll swap software, I have tons of space now!" Big surprise, I had way more floppies than he had drive space. 😆 These days I don't mess around, I have around 105TB of storage with room for expansion as drives get cheaper.

FS-UAE integrates the most accurate Amiga emulation code available from WinUAE. FS-UAE emulates A500, A500+, A600, A1200, A1000, A3000 and A4000 models, but you can tweak the hardware configuration and create customized Amigas.

My Dad had one when we were growing up, so it’s definitely ≥2.

HarriPotero@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Unless it's the same one.

paddirn@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Ok, so they produced at least one, we know that for sure.

I thought it was clever, but now I'm seeing what I assume you're seeing.

More than 2 but less than 2 trillion.

Lusted after one as a teenager but could not afford one. It was a bit of a luxury item where I grew up.

Not even the taxman?

I got an Amiga 500 in 1989 and adored it for a good ten years.

5 years ago I donated it. To a (computer) museum. That made me feel old.
