How did you get your first Amiga?

[woody.cool]

I got my first Amiga (Amiga 500+ Cartoon Classics pack) as a christmas pressie. My folks didn't see me for ages upon openening that thing. Best crimbo I ever had. Once I got slighlty bored with the games, I fired up Deluxe Paint III and let my creative side shine through (not that I have much of a creative side)

I never had a printer for my CPC464. I always wanted one and would look at the adverts, but could never afford one. Plus the CPC had a unique connector so you were restricted in the printers you could buy. Once I had an ST I finally got my first printer, which was a Star LC10C 9pin colour printer. That thing was really loud!

Althought the connector on the CPC is different, it still uses the standard Parrallel Centronics interface, so and adaptor cable expanded the range of printers that could be connected to the CPC's printer port.
