Hi,
I´m 34. My first contact with the Amiga was in late 1990, with a borrowed A500. I had just switched from a Sinclair Spectrum compatible to a 386 with a green monitor, and I found it so crappy compared to 8 bit stuff that I thought computing future was doomed. Then I´ve found the Amiga, and got really happy !!
I´ve managed to get a brand new A1200 in 92. They were expensive, because Brasil had a law in the 80´s and early 90´s forbidding to import computers and also forbidding foreign companies to produce then here. No Amigas, no Macs, no Ataris, no 64´s...
