I remember haven just sold my A500 in late '92, and spent a week without any form of computer device... running to the computer shop picking up the A1200, rushing home... pluginging in, switching on... nothing... panic... :-o
I was used to the A500 booting up in 2 seconds, so I switched it off and then back on again... still nothing, so I repeated the procedure several times... then just left it on... as if by magic, after 30 seconds the disk insertion animation appeared...
I can't tell you how dissapointed I was that it wasn't such a speedy boot... but never mind, everything was ok after I got a hard drive. :-D
