The Amiga was the first computer I ever owned starting out w/a A1000 which I still have was purchased in '92 from Amiga Guru Rick Hunter of Apogee Technologies and Contraption Industries in Sarasota FL.

Started purchasing discs from TLAS [Turtle Lightning Amiga Software], DevWare etc. for utilities then buying games after running the demoes from Amiga Format etc. and/or reading about in Amiga World, Amazing Computing, Amiga Informer etc.
I went to an internet cafe many times late '98 and downloaded from Aminet to many disks formatted on the Wintel boxes and transferred using CrossDos 7 to the A1200 which I got online later the next year.
