Ah yes.. I got a C-64 in '85 and then after showing a lot of interest, the Amiga 500 Batman pack in the summer of 89 or so.
My unit was illegally imported from the UK in a suitcase as Amiga prices were a lot cheaper there then.. :-) Ahh, TNZS, Batman the movie .. The Very First, DPaint II ..
AmigaBasic..
Life was simple at first, then in '92 or so I got online with a borrowed 1k2 modem.. Later on I loaned an 9k6 speed monster and then 14k4 :-)
I upgraded the machine with 512k slow, extra DD, 2.04 roms and an AR3 cartridge.. I did all my stuff with a few highly customized wb2.04 workbench disks.. :-)
Learning asm, deciding it's too difficult and dropping it (stupid decision back then).. BBSes, and eventually the Internet..
I got a PC next to it in 1995, but the Amiga was always hooked up and I still kept doing stuff with it.. Then in 1998 I bought a second hand A4000.. After that I've owned almost all the retail Amiga models at some time or another, some have only had a short stay on my desk and some have been around longer.
The A500 is still with me, but the only things left of the original machine are the case, psu, manuals & disks and mouse.. The innards have been swapped at one point or another (it's now an A500+ ;-)
