Tell us about your Amiga 1000 experiences

[runequester]

Just finished reading a bunch of scans old amiga magazines, and it got me thinking about one of the few amiga models I have never seen in person: the Amiga 1000.


So tell us about your 1000 experiences.

Did you own one "back in the day"?
Did you buy one later in life (past the heyday of amiga's)?

What attracted you to it back then? What parts didn't you like?

If you bought one years later, what attracted you?

Did you expand them? Use it "raw" ? What did you do on it back then? Today?

If I remember right I picked up a 1000 because I read the composite out was color on them , but black and white on the 500 I already had after a couple weeks of it setting my nephew asked if he could use it and he did from about 1992 until he graduated. So last Christmas my brother shows up and says here is that Amiga 1000 you let us borrow. Now I am just wondering what to do with it. Any Suggestions?

Play some Shadow of the Beast or Lemmings and pretend its 1990 again

Do you remember what you paid for that 40 meg HD?

I remember reading articles of a 20 meg drive being advertised as "basically unlimited storage"
