Hmmm bought my A1k/1080 about 1986 from Micromart in Winnipeg, where I was working at the time. That was when the initial big price drop from $2995 to $1995 Cdn hit.

1990 Flight of Fantasy pack, bought at a computer shop in Bournemouth. Still have the Customer Care card but not the A500. I sold that, got a B2000, then an A600 then an A1200, then another A500. Then I sold the A1200 and got my A4000T. First and last Miggies bought new in the UK, rest bought new in SA (except for the second A500 which I wanted mainly for the monitor, and the seller wouldn't split).

I got my first Amiga at Soft Wares on Queen Mary Road in Montreal, on April 17, 1987.  I still have the receipt.

I paid $1800.00 Canadian for the A1000, A1050, and A1080 together, plus I bought Defender of the Crown for $50.00 and DMCS for $125.00, and a box of 10 DS/DD Goldstar disks for $34.00.

It was paid for with money that was left to me by my great aunt.

The A1000 was the first computer that was really mine and lived in my room.  There were already three other computers in the house: A PET 2001, a Microcom ][+, and a Commodore 64.

The A1000 and the A1200 that I bought in 1993 are still the only computers that I have ever purchased new from the store.
