What did your amiga look like in 1991?

Here was my setup! I think this was closer to 1992. I had an A500 with an IVS Trumpcard with a 20MB hard drive and an IVS MetaFour card with 4MB of RAM. I thought I ruled the world.

The local computer club was an "every platform" club. I recall taking this to a meeting and just getting a barrage of questions. The two questions I remember best were, "How much RAM do you have?" I replied proudly, "5 MEGABYTES!" and the other was "How big is your Hard Drive? I also proudly replied "20 MEGABYTES!. I remember one guy saying, "You'll never fill that up!"

Now, stevee617's setup rocks!

I can't find the pic now, but my A500 sat a top a computer desk such as this. Had a 24-pin Panasonic dot matrix printer hooked to it, external expansion RAM, 1680 modem, but no HD back in '91.  

Thanks! I was really proud of that system. Check out the 2400bps modem!

That desk is so neat it is scary!

It had to be neat...besides a car, it was the only thing I owned!

Nice! I remember the importance of having a clock nearby too. The Online experience was so damned expensive then!

Especially if you called overseas to get the "good stuff"!
