Simple.  Take your day's profits from selling crack, and go to the Amiga
store!

Big :-) of course.  More likely, someone saves up for a year or two from
a paper route, buys an Amiga, and it gets stolen the next day by someone
who sells it for $30 so they can go buy some crack.

Timothy Leary is one of those walking, talking reminders that LSD is
not a good thing to do to your brain.
