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.

    I can definitely account for 1.

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

    Put me down for 0 too because we were poor.

    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.

    More than 2 but less than 2 trillion.

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

    I got an Amiga 500 in 1989 and adored it for a good ten years.

    5 years ago I donated it. To a (computer) museum. That made me feel old.
