It was never easy to find amiga stuff and if my cousin hadn't shown me his A1000 I probably would never have known about the Amiga. I used it once and I was hooked so I was willing to drive ridiculous distances to feed my passion. I honestly did have to go to extremes at times to upgrade or purchase something. But there was just something so special about not just the machine but also the programs and programmers writting for it. Whenever I did find a store that had Amigas they rarely had anyone working there who knew how to boot them up and show a demo or game or anything. The stores that did have them running usually had people waiting in line to try out Lemmings or were standing there with jaw dropped watching a NewTek Demo. I remember when Walden Software was selling A600's so cheap that I was actually buying them up and re-selling them for a slight profit. Sure miss those days.
