What a great computer. The memories! Even now the emulators are still not performing that well (good emulation is hard, even on speedy systems we have now) compared to the real deal. I bought a very cheap A500 last year and I regularly boot it up to play games or revive some of my 68000 assembler skillz.

So many great memories. I fooled around with emulators a while back, and you're right its not the same as the real thing. I still have an A2000 and A4000, but sadly sold the A500 and gave my A1200 away.
