I am now 36.
It was back around 1985 when I was about 14.
I saw the A1000 advertised in a computer magazine. A few months later I bought one! I added on the front mem expansion as well as an additional 2Mb internal mem expansion. There were a few of us at high school with them but things got interesting when I went to university where I bought an A2000 and put in a GVP 030/40Mhz accel. There were a LOT of us at university with Amigas. Ahhh... the good old days.
The old A2000 is still set up after all these years for my kids to play on. My 9 yr old loves it.
