Got my first A500 in 1989 IIRC. Most of the money came from my great-grandma. She was probably one of the few ppl from the 19th (born 1895) century who (indirectly) participated in an Amiga purchase. But I guess she never really got what's it all about and preferred to tell me stories of the emperor's (Wilhelm II that was) birthday over trying a nice game (no she really wasn't able to handle that anymore with 95 years).
But eventually she overlived C= by a year to 1995...
