A friend and I saw the Amiga 2000 running Workbench and Ports of Call at a relative of his. We started borrowing the manual and bought acressories for the Amiga 500. We went into shops and wanted to play with the Amigas there, but they never inserted any disks. So all we could do is reset them (Ctrl+A+A) and fantasize about building an Amiga into a car. We were about 14 years at the time. It was summer and we had to wait till christmas. Christmas however was two maonth early ;-)
