That would be my A1200.  Non expanded (apart from RAM).  I would have gaming evenings in my room with my mates (and beer of course - we had just discovered beer haha), but other than that I used it for midi sequencing via Steinberg software and I did a LOT of DTP via Pagestream (Sooooooo sloooooow on my machine - whilst my mate had a mac which flew through such things). I remember having a Star LC 24-10 NLQ printer which at the time was the Mutts nuts for a bedroom machine!  I also remember using it to go "on line" to several Scottish BBS systems such as Blue Lagoon (which my mate ran) and Verities and Balderdash.

Didn't have a lot of money back then but those days were awesome!
