Well, let's see.... it must have been back in 1983 or 4... I was an Atari 8-bit user. We kept hearing about this secret machine called Amiga or Loraine or something... which was capable so the rumor said of "Saturday morning cartoon quality animation". That sounded fantastic to people trying to do that sort of thing on Atari 800s. ;-) I remember trying to wheedle information out of the sysops on CI$, some of whom had seen the prototype.... sounds just like today, eh? ;-)
Anyway, once the machine was released, and after I worked up the guts to drop $1500, I bought a brand new Amiga 1000. I still have it, although a 2000 replaced it, and UAE has pretty much replaced the 2000.
