Re: Where'd you buy your First Amiga?

My dad bought our A1000 from Amigo Business Computers, East Northport, NY (Long Island) in spring of 1986, iirc.  (with the 512k expansion card, of course)

Along with a 1080 monitor.  I believe we got the A1010 floppy drive some time later.

It came with Kickstart/Workbench 1.0, and ABasic.  We also got Deluxe Paint 1 with it as well, which was on a 1.1 disk,
so it didn't actually work until they figured out that we needed the 1.1 Kickstart disk too. hehe.

We didn't get a pack of floppies for a week or so.  I remember my parents went out for the evening, and I drew a picture in DPaint, but was unable to save it since we didn't
have any floppies, so I left the computer on until they got home to show it to them. :)
