I was with my grandmother in an area of a nearby city that i had never been in and spotted a nearby computer store. I told my grandmother I'd by in there instead of waiting for her.
I was a long time C64 owner and programmer at the time when i spotted a machine near the C64 stuff playing a slideshow of gorgeous pictures. I picked up an information pamphlet and didn't believe the features! 4096 colours, no way! 4 channels of stereo sound! What the hell is multitasking?
After a few minutes a store employee came over and i asked him about multitasking. He started up an editor, an app that played a tune, then some of the things that came with WB1.3, you know the ones that draw rectangles and circles, then he told me to type in the editor. I was speechless. Didn't take me long to save up some money and get my first of several Amiga models.
