AGE then: 12 (AGE NOW: 33)
First experience was with a friend whose parents just bought him a brand new tricked-out Amiga 1000.
He was mad, when just a couple years later, I purchased my Amiga 500 that had more memory, Kickstart in ROM instead of on floppy, etc.
I would have been 13, just turning 14 when I got my Amiga 500.
Without sounding cheesy, the impact of the Amiga on my youth and subsequently my life is practically indescribable. While I know others with PCs have similar sounding stories, the mere fact that the amiga wasn't standard meant that you had understand the technology to use the technology effectively.
