Bringing My Amiga 500 Computer Out of Mothballs

First encounter with computers was a Philips Videopac G7000. A game-console with an onboard keyboard that used ROM-cartridges with games on them.
Also bought a 'programmer' (nr.9) cartridge once, but I recall it was very useless due to the limited 99 memory locations available in the console.

Then visited a nephew who had a Vic20 and Commodore64, so I bought a C64 too. Went through the misery of manually typing in many pages of hex-data just to load some crappy program.
Or fighting with that tape-drive with the little tuning screwdriver to align the head to the tape-track...
Upgraded to a discdrive later with 5-1/4" discs.
Soundchips that usually 'blew' when you disconnected a plug while the computer was still 'on'. I believe I replaced 3 of them.
Then came a Commodore128 which used 3.5" discs, and upgraded to an Amiga500 later on. Recall the WorkBench.

At the time there were also ZX Spectrums. I hated those things from the getgo with their stupid rubber keys.
