IIRC, that was the year I got my A500HD+ and my Rev 8 mobo. At the time I was still heavily programming on my C64/128, so the 500 got used mostly as a games, music, and Internet (well, GEnie and BBS) machine. I was playing with OctaMED to learn tracking, and some sound editor to piece together wav files. That and I would take wav rips of CDs from my friend's PC and convert them to compressed IFFs. I'm pretty certain at the time I was still using Workbench 1.3 as I recall my 2.04 and 3.1 days came after I moved into my first apartment.
