@82mhz I had the A500, didn't upgrade it much. Kind of liked it as it was with 1 Meg RAM. Great for the old games. But we also got an A1200, that had 8 Meg RAM with a 100 MB hard drive plus an accelerator. That got used A LOT: DPaint, a CAD package I forget the name, OctaMED, Wordworth Word processor, plus HD installed games. It was fast, everything booted instantly. All my college work was written on that machine, it even went on the Internet. I still have it along with A500, A4000 and CD32!
