For me, I was lucky enough to live in Silicon Valley here in California at the time the A1000 was just about to get released and saw a demo of it. I was blown away and way too young to afford one. I think I was in like 5th grade at the time. So I saved every penny from my news paper delivery routes, did yard work around the neighborhood, washed cars and did other things to save up all the way to a year after it came out and got my A1000 as a demo unit at the local Amiga dealership. It was an awesome thing to have and loved it from the first day all the way to now.
