Can only add a few of my earliest memories of the Amiga. I remember reading about the A1000 in High School (freshman, or sophmore), buying Commodore Magazine and AmigaWorld long before I could even dream of affording an Amiga.... about 2 years later, a friend (who's parents had way too much money apparently) after showing off his Atari 1040ST, showed me his brand new A500... He showed off DPaint (1) and Adventure Construction Set, I was simply amazed by the stereo music coming from the machine. Someone can maybe help my memory here, I bought the first A500 'bundle' that was released... I know it came with Tetris and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, not sure of the exact date. All I remember is taking my first tax refund check, cashing it, and handing it all to a clerk at B. Dalton's Software Etc. , and going home with a big box containing an A500.... (I started work at 17 y.o.)
My first 500, and a second one have since died.. but I have never turned back... Still have to use a Windoze machine for some websites, notably Employment sites that need Internet Exploiter... but I am glad to tell people that my Amiga is my 'real' computer, just my opinion... it's just what I am used to now....
It's just hard to change after you have been using a certain computer and OS for so long......
Besides, Windoze has the close gadget on the wrong side of the window...
:-D
