My first intro to the Amiga (1000) was in a computer shop running the boing ball demo. This was a week after I'd just bought my C128d and monitor. Very frustrating before realising there wasn't the software to meet my needs. I held out for 3 years before I got a 2000. The 500 wasn't on the shopping list as expandability was a key requirement.
Games were an important but secondary objective.
