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

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

        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.

          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.

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

    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.

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

    More than 2 but less than 2 trillion.
