It was the late summer of 1993, the A1200 was on the store shelf and I'd just graduated high-school and was starting college. Software and More was the store and I knew the owner from years past when I had attended the Commodore user group meetings. My C128 had seen better years and I needed a faster machine for my college stuff. The PCs I had seen were overpriced and didn't have graphics acceleration yet. I paid $650 for it and never regretted it.
