Started with a TI-99/4A then a C64 in 1986. The music video station "MuchMusic" was running a contest called "Win a music video station", first prize was an A500 & 1084s plus a video camera, VCR, and some kind of electric keyboard. 2'nd to tenth prizes were A500 & 1084s. Before the draw Canadian Tire (yes they sold tires AND computers) had a big sale on the A500 so I bought one. A few weeks later my name was drawn and I had two A500's and a 1084. I kept the one with the 1 meg Agnus and sold the other.
