A used A1000 from a dealer that took trade-ins toward newer models. System only came with 256k RAM, so saved up for the A1050. Couldn't afford a disk drive at the time, so put up with a lot of disk swapping. Had it hooked to a 13" color TV via an RF modulator too. By the time the A500 was released, I was making more money but realized how expensive the A1000 was to upgrade. Decided to sell my A1000 to a friend and put that money toward a nice A500 setup (Kickstart 1.2) with 1MB RAM and a 1084 monitor. That was my main system for a few more years before I got an A1000 back.
