We had IIe, IIc, Commodore, and Atari in school.

The new Mac was nothing compared to the Amiga back then. Amiga was way ahead of its time.

I had a C-64 in 8th grade. I wanted an Amiga so bad! My high school was broke, so we had Tandy TRS80's.

That's nuts. When I was in college, the surplus building had a bunch of the original macs (~1983). They were trying to sell me two for $10. This was in probably 1994. They had a bunch of them, but I figured since I already had one at home I didn't need another..... I wonder if that thing is still tucked away in the closet.
