I bought my first A1000 from someone I never met and never saw, through a friend of mine who had an A2000, which was the first Amiga I got to see in person. I gave him the money and he bought my A1000 from a friend of his and delivered it to me a few days later. Those early years really were the "Good old Days"!
Makes me wonder what it would take to ever get that feeling again? Maybe when I get my first flying car or I win a trip to fly to another country and it just happens to have a short visit into low Earth orbit as an incentive for flying with ZeroG Airlines. :lol:
