       Something unexpected came into my possession.I happened to be browsing some local ads online this morning and found an Amiga 1000... The ORIGINAL Amiga... for sale!£20.It cost me £20.After some serious cleaning, it's a thing of beauty! And it boots! No software seems to work from floppy disk but I'm just glad I get the initial boot screen.

       The original owner was incredibly interesting and lovely, and he was someone who used it for video titling and graphics overlays, hence the genlock it came with. This machine also has a 2MB RAM sidecar expansion and a 256KB RAM expansion cartridge in the front panel.The previous owner said that it cost him £1700 in 1986, and the RAM expansion cost another £700! 😬

       I already have some future ideas to bring this computer into a more usable state, due to the floppy drive not booting software, but for now I'll just appreciate how lovely it is and how lucky I am!#computing #retrocomputing
