My cousin just got a brand new a500, my parents got impressed by what they saw and one month later they went out to buy one :-)
Only computer i had before that was a c64..
Had a damn great time with that computer... I miss those times so much. Those where the times when it was a joy to turn on the computer, instant bootup.... RARELY any crashes... Todays pcs are a pain, i never turn of my pcs anymore, cause i feel sick every damn time i boot windoze...
