Ah! My first A500!

It must've been 1988. Since it came out, I was drewling all over every Amiga-magazine I saw. Finally, I had enough money to buy me a 500 with 1084. The shop even delivered it at home! The excitement of connecting all cables, the desillusion when finding out they delivered me the wrong monitorcable... AAAARGH! The excitement when the right cable was delivered two long, lóóng hours later...

The first few days, I didn't have any software besides WB1.2 and the Extras-disk. Hell! Did I care! 'Say' was great, the basicdemos awesome and when I finally was able to play my first games...

Upgrades were soon to come: internal RAM-expansion, extra floppydrive, 24pin printer, SCSI-harddisk, flickerfixer, external RAM-expansion, Power PC Board... Great stuff!

Nevertheless, I don't own a 500 anymore: I shifted to a 1200 and a 2000, which are more to my liking.
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200
