What did your amiga look like in 1991?

[save2600]

In '91, I had a 512kb single drive A1000 in the living room, sitting next to my coffee table, hooked to a 27" professional Panasonic monitor (not TV) w/ all sorts of discrete inputs (ganked it from a McDonald's that I worked at years ago that was used for training purposes and was hooked to a 3/4" professional video player). In the bedroom, sat a 1mb A500 hooked to a 1084s monitor, where I did all my "serious" work. Pics to follow if I can find them.

Also in the living room, across from the A1000, was a C64c with 1802 and a 1541 drive. Again, pics to follow. I was 19-20 years old. Had a Donkey Kong cocktail table arcade, Bally Star Trek pinball and a Gottlieb Count Down pinball in the same small apartment.

I bet you had lots of friends too!

Nah. Always qualified the dumbass chimps, but always had a few real friends (literally) at all times I guess!  lol

And the last one (C64 breadbox) from '86 for "good luck".  :lol:

Used to watch 'Son of Svengoolie' late nights on that 13" Sears TV!

In picture 4...are those magnepans?!  :eek:

Yep, MGIIC's. Not bad for a 20yo, eh?

<--------is not a liberal democrud who believes things should ought to be handed to him. Fundamentals are fun folks!  :lol:   (translation: had to work my ass off in order to afford such nice things. Kids that age today have absolutely no clue of that concept)

LUCKY!!!

HAHA! "Luck" has never been a part of my life. Quite the opposite actually.

Here's a pic of several Maggies (SMG's and IIC's) when I still lived at home and was only 18!  :lol:

...and a "bonus" pic of me demonstrating Pinball Construction Set to my cousin, before my brother and I switched bedrooms in '86:

(60's Arvin portable tube AM radio, Yamaha CD Player, Technics receiver, SR2000 13" TV, C64 and 1541)


Apologies for being a topic de-railer.

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!

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