I remember seeing 500s in K Mart and drooling over 4000s in Myer a few years later.
I knew quite a few people that had Amigas but pretty much only 500s. Later I saw a couple of 1200s and 600s. I went to a meeting or two of a local Amiga user group a couple of years after C= went under but didn't feel like I fit in with the grumpy greybeards there! I don't think there's an active user group anywhere near me now.
My first Amiga was a 500 and I eventually bought a 1200, probably one of the last ones sold here in Perth! The 1200 was the first computer I bought with my own money and it's still going. Sadly, I sold the 030 accelerator I had in it for peanuts when I was broke in the late 90s. By then I had got my hands on a 4000 but didn't know about the dangers of the battery and it died a few years later.
Until I got interested in Amigas again a couple of years ago, I'd never even seen a 1000 or a 2000 but have since picked up two of each and a couple of them even work.
K-Mart has a presence in AU , eh?
I'm fond of the A2000 myself.
Sturdy enough to be used as a weapon when you tire of using it as a computer. :laugh1:
