I started of in 82 I think it was, with the at that time totally amazing Commodore VIC 20, real keyboard and massive 3Kb of memory... all my little ZX80 and Spectrum friends were green with envy. :lol:

Next Came the C64 with more memory than anyone could have dreamed of at that time. (still own one and hold it in high regard)

When the A1000 arrived I snapped up one of those, I mean 4096 colours :eek:. Wow!!! who had ever heard of such a thing.

Then it was onto the good Old A500, cost a fortune at that time to add a 120Kb HD and extra memory., but it was worth every penny :)

Finally it was onto the A1200, that to me is the best machine ever produced and is all I use to this very day (just a pity it all went balls up before the fabled Triple A chipset got going) :(. I daren't even think of the amount of cash I have spent over the years on my various A1200's, but I know it runs into several thousand quid. Again though, worth every hard earned penny spent on them. :)

My only wish left is for Jimmy Saville to read my 'Wish Jim was still here...' thread and come out of retirement (or dig him up !!!) and make my dream come true... :biglaugh:

Now if we all sent a letter to Jim, then maybe, just maybe the Amiga would be back on top of the world again, where it truly belongs. ;)

Cheers :drink:
