Nah, I was an Amiga 500 user in Europe at the time and was looking at maybe getting an Amiga 2000 or 3000, but with VGA games like Comanche and Ultima VII being released on PC, great IDEs like Turbo Pascal/C/C++ available, the value proposition of the Amiga just wasn't really there anymore, the writing was on the wall. And so with a heavy heart I bought a 486DX instead. I agree insofar as I wouldn't have opted for a 386SX.

Pretty much exactly the same - I was at university at the time and heard of this slackware Linux thing - my Amiga was hardly used after that.
