I've got my A500 in 89, and used until 1997 when I've bought an used A1200 with a lot of goods to it.
I 2000 I've sold my A1200 (the most stupid thing to do), and in 2005 bought a A500 with KS1.3 + disk used over the internet. I'm holding on to that one, and I will never sell it again. I surely miss my old A1200
