Bought my first A500 in 1987 at the Compucenter in St. Vital mall, here in Winnipeg Canada. The store no longer exists, but I do remember fondly going to the store once a week to check out the computers in the display. The Amiga stood out because they had a demo of Accolda's Test Drive running next to some crappy black and white Mac. Ah, those were the days.
I believe that I also bought my A1200 from there, but the A4000/040 (with CV64 and some video capture card) was bought of eBay. Sold the A1200 years ago to some dude here in town, but I still have the A500 & A4000.
