First Amiga,
What a subject.
Got mine from a local dealer. We had 3 in those days.
1986 bought my first computer at Omnitek computers in
Tewksbury,Mass for a mere $1295.00. I bought it with my wife's student discount. She never used it. The A1000 was a buzz with 4096 colors while a PC had 16. I was hooked.
Deluxe Paint sold the computer then.
I frequented the dealers as much as I could : The Memory Location especially upgrading to an A2000 in 1989.
Through the years I had an A500 and 3 A1200s too. I also went back to an A1000 from Software Hut in the 90's for nostalgia sake. After my 1200 blew up I went back to Software Hut and have an A4000T at last after all these years. Thank you for Software Hut. They got much of my business through the years. 10 years prior the cost of an A4000T was near $3,000.
Guess what, right now I only have an A4000T because my PC with 2 Gigs of ram, 512 K graphics card and Dual core processor at 2.86 GHz bit the dust. I'll be solely Amiga cruising again until the PC is fixed. Or should I fix it?
Ahhh, the Amiga 1000. What an idea.
