Bought my first A1000 used at an Amiga/PC computing store in Mundelein, IL late '86, after lusting over one since it was first released. Used that for a very short bit before realizing or deciding that upgrading its ram was not a logical thing to do when the A500's were so much cheaper out of the box. Sold my A1000 and put that dough towards an A500 with Kickstart 1.2 and a 1084s monitor. Used that to sample sounds for several audio projects back in the day and also used it to write papers in school and to play games of course. Wasn't until the early 90's that I got back into the 1000 because everyone was unloading them for peanuts and they'd come with all sorts of ram typically. Bought a 1300 Genlock and used it to add titles and such to peoples wedding vids, home movies or their kids' sporting events. A1000 will always have a special place in my heart. Would just like a fatter Agnus, 3.1 in ROM, internal HD and a faster CPU in an A1000 case and I'd be all "set" again
