I remember the Commodore 16, especially their TV ad that used Ringo Starr's "You're 16" theme. It seemed like a weird move since they already had the C64...
I also went the Commodore route. I still remember when I got my A501, giving me a whopping 1MB of ram!
I used Lattice C, and GCC to a lesser extent. Later, after finding out how hard it was to get ahold of the 3000/UX version of UNIX, I installed NetBSD on my regular A3000. Fun times...
I liked the M68k series so much I eventually wrote an emulator for it, which is used in MAME to this day.
