Ah yes, the venerable A4000. The machine I should have bought.
In a an odd turn of pricing coincidence, in late 1992/early 1993, the prices of new AGA Amiga's in Melbourne were equal to their model numbers. I had saved up A$5,000 I was willing to spend on computing gear. I really wanted the A4000 but it was A$3,999 which left little for other things. Instead I bought an A1200 for A$1,199 and then purchased a memory expansion card with 4MB SIMM for A$800, the new AGA version of Deluxe Paint IV, and a couple of other titles,  and I also bought a Citizen Colour Dot Matrix Printer for A$700.

I loved that A1200 but the printer was a waste of money. I should've bought the A4000.
