Now that you mention it, I probably would have jumped to the Amiga or
the Atari ST instead of the PC.  I remember in the early 90s when I
almost bought an Atari Falcon even though I was still quite happy with
my IIgs.  It just had some cool features I was interested in using.

But I stayed with my IIgs.  I'm not so sure I'd still be wanting to use
an Amiga or Atari ST today like I do my IIgs because of their limited
expandability compared to the IIgs.
