Q: for first time Amiga 1000 buyers
« on: January 19, 2010, 09:08:04 PM »
How much did you pay?

What did it come with?

What store or was it an individual you bought it from?

What year was it?

How old were you?

Wow - $150 was CHEAP, even in '89, but I remember people ditching their A1000's quickly after the 500. I forgot to ask something else important... where did you get the machine from? A store or private individual?

And yeah, RAM was expensive back then, but $189 for 2mb sounds really reasonable compared to just a couple years before that. Expansion was ALWAYS (still is obviously) expensive for the A1000. Thanks for sharing Crom! Always neat to hear about comparative uses back in the day.
