I arrived at college in 1990 with my trusty Amiga 2000 in hand. I then quickly discovered the school's Unix workstations. I have to admit that the Amiga soon after started collecting a lot of dust.
That A1000 ended up with 4MB, 14MHz 68020, SCSI controller, and 80MB of disk 'borrowed' from a Sun.
Sure the OS was a bit different, but it's basically a cut-rate Sun 3/60. So many earl Amiga devs were Unix nerds sitting in front of Suns all day and wanting something close to that feeling for home. Macintosh (lol), IBM PC (lol DOS).
Pretty much wasn't until Linux that the PC actually became useful at all.
This. I got lucky to experience a SGI Indy when it came out and although going from my beloved Amiga to a 386 running DOS "because CPU speed" (and because the PC was obviously where it was heading) was a really bitter move. Then a 486. Then I discovered Linux and my 486 + Linux was my "poor boy's SGI Indy". Great memories (and still rocking desktop linux on my workstation on a daily basis).
