Just a topic to find out some intresting info from you guys. It worked on a few forums so why not here?
As I started I will walk into the potential minefield!

Age: 18

First "Amiga experiance": Early 1993. (Aged about 4 on a new 1200) Hooked on computing since!

It must have been in 1992 (maybe 1991) whem I bought my first A500, since i owned A600, A500+, A1200, CDTV, A2000 and now A4000T. I recently bought the A4000, simply the best :-)

I still have most of the abowe, byt mostly they were hit away in the closet for the last years. My interrest for Amiga went back this year, so I am happy that i kept my dear Amiga's :-)

First experience was around 1991 or 1992 - my younger sister's A500+ that she got for Christmas. It might as well have been MY present. I couldn't get enough of it!

Later, bought my own Amiga - an A500 with 1.5MB fast ram from a friend (still have it) and then an A1200, a CD32 (to keep them both company) and lastly, an A600 to wedge the door open... :-)
An Amiga is for life, not just for Christmas!

Age 26.

I bought my first Amiga (A500+) in 1992 when I was 10 :-)

I used a C64 from 1987 and in those years I already experienced Amiga with the A500s of my friends.
I still remember the first time I saw the Simpson (2 disks edition) intro. I came back to home with this face:  :-o
And this was my parents reaction: :help:
