Still can't beleive people paid $1 per back in '83 for that.
About '87, I had a gap year and bought the family a Commodore Amiga 1000, with the HDD upgrade...$1500 was a fortune back then...I've still got the Amiga, think it works but no sound.
Oh yeah, I remember those. We used to call them Trash 80's. I think that was a common nickname back in the day. I liked the Amiga and was thinking about picking one up as a used one, but never got around to it. Pretty advanced at the time, it just kinda died out.
