I've started with a ZX Spectrum 48k, somewhere in 1983. My dad sold it in 1986 and bought us shortly a C64c. Ever since I've heard of A500 I wanted it badly, but I wasn't able to get one until mid 1995. My friends were all into music making on their Amigas. I spent days and months at my friend's place playing around in ProTracker on his A600. Finally, I was able to purchase an A500 in '95.
I brought it to another friend who was familiar with soldering, so that he could modify my A500 to detect 1MB of chip ram instead of half/half. I needed this in order to be able to compose more comfortably in ProTracker. :-)
