My father bought an original Amiga 1000 in 85, and I started using it in 89. We had lots-o-software, a 2MB external RAM expansion and dial-out BBS capabilities. I was given the A1000 when my father bought our first PeeCee (Intel) in the early-mid 90's. My A1000 lasted till about 2001, when it finally died. I gave all my software and accessories to my best friend who has a NOS A500.
