You must not be counting develper's machines. Many developers received their
machines before you and I got ours. I reserved one of the first shipment of
10 Amigas sent to my local dealer on Aug 22, 1985. They arrived, and I picked
mine up on Oct 4. I swear. I just checked. I'm not trying to steal anyone's
thunder. :-)

I heard about the Amiga, and also the upcoming Byte article here on the net
via net.micro.amiga. I waited many months (impatiently) for them to arrive
here in town, and I believe mine was in the first wave of shipments to go out.
