At one point I had the Amiga and PC on the same desk but it didn't last long as the PC was just so much better (at games).

I honestly don’t think I’ve even seen an Amiga beyond the 500...

same here! I kept the C64 for 2-3 years after getting an Amiga, and an Amiga for 2-3 years after getting a PC

Only used either at friends places. My first computer was a pc (“ibm compatible”) circa 1987. Only had PCs and Macs since.
