Wow your family had enough money to own both an Amiga 1000 and a PC running Win95? Did y'all have enough money to buy NeXT and other weird things? I dumpster dived for computers until the mid 2000s in Palo Alto because we couldn't afford much. Pentiums were scores! But the energy costs of running them at home was expensive.

The Amiga 1000 came out in 1985. By the time Win95 was available, it was almost worthless.
