in 1988 the company I worked for was shifting premises (their THIRD shift) over a weekend and I earned enough with the overtime to pay one-third the cost of a 1.2 A500 & 1084 monitor (( totalling about $1400AU ))

Took it home (where I was co-habiting with a Station Mistress at that time) and set it up beside my C128D on a desk I call "Big Blue". Still have that desk in my computer room today: behind me where my A1200HD sits INFRONT of that C128D!

Anyhow, the only software I bought firstoff was a Psygnosis game- Deep Space. I got into DPaintII and then searched out for the lowest costing source of Floppies; which was then $24-22 per pack-of-ten!

In 1991 I bought this A2000HD, and later on the A500 was sold to my brother-in-law when I bought my second Hand Scanner which, unlike the first, would install to Hard Drive!
