Ah yes... memories!
I'm an old git, of 39.
My first Amiga experience was back in 1985 hearing about my friend's brother's A1000 (one of the first in Melbourne).
I then drooled over the various magazine previews and reviews and finally got an A500 in 1987, I think... Moved on to an A1200 in 1992 and finally sold it last year, after leaving it in the cupboard since 1998! Now I'm an occasional WinUAE user...
