Was in my 2nd as an apprentice, making a whopping 500DM (250Euro) a month. In early early 91 I had saved a wee bit over 1000DM and destined to spend it on my 1st puter.
A decent specced PC was out of the budget (>2000DM) a Atari-MegaST with SM124 was 1400DM and I allmost went for that ..... but in the end I waited another month and spend 1500DM for an A500+1084 at the local supermarket.
At 1st I allways wondered, what that stupid shell-window was for and why I couldn't close it
Another 2 months later I ordered a 512k expansion and an external floppy (pretty sure it was at Vesalia).
Keept it that way till XMas 92 when I bought myself an 1200 with 60MB HD.
