My first experience? After the premiere of Star Trek Generations I got to chatting with some friends in the parking lot of the movie theatre. Discussion was normal, bad movie, summoning demons, the usual chit-chat of teenagers. I mentioned this Compaq I'd just bought and my friend went "you ain't seen a computer yet." Went back to his house, and he showed me his pride and joy:
An Amiga 1500
For hours the thing blew me away. With an 030-50Mhz onboard, this thing was amazing.
I couldn't afford buying one till '97 or so however.
