Nup we got an Amiga 500 in 1987, ran off a Commodore 64 type system. It did have a paint program, and a colour screen, which was reasonably advanced for 1987 I guess. First really good computer we got as a family was a Compaq Presario in 1996, with a full 8MB of RAM, and a CD-ROM. Windows 95 too......

That Amiga had a musical composition program, and this game where you had to answer math/spelling questions to proceed around the spaceship and collect these fuel crystals....lots of 8 bit fun.....

Yeah the old Amiga500 was really ahead of it's time. I never had one but one of my best mates did. If only it had networking and it would have been near complete!
