A friend in school had two big brothers who owned a Spectrum 48k, which we used to play games on. Then they upgraded to an A500 and of course we played games on that one too. This was about 1987 or 1988 when I was 7 years old.
When I was 11, I had saved up enough money to buy my own all-new A500 Plus (complete with an original version of Deluxe Paint IV!). Around 1993 I got interested in Desktop Publishing and now my Amiga had 2 disk drives, 2MB chipmem and an inkjet printer.
Realizing the Plus' shortcomings, I bought a used A1200 with a 120MB HDD in 1994. I started expanding it more and more.
In 2001 (err, I think) I bought an all-new A1200T with some fancy expansion cards.
