Got my first A500 in 1990 - it was the Rainbow Islands/ F29 Retaliator pack - also came with Planet of the Robot Monsters. Stayed up all night some nights trying to write a Mandelbrot generator in AmigaBASIC - was a big improvement from moving from my then current computer which was just a Spectrum +. I remember having a floppy disk as opposed to tape was something that blew me completely away. Similar to when I later got a hard disk for my 1200. Bought loads of demos and Fish disks from CRazy Joes PD - remember Plasmutex - them were the days. Eventually graduated to coding some simple 68k programs with a68k.
