Here in Sweden the common setup was A500, 1 MB chip and one external floppy.
The guy with two or three external drives, 2MB chip expansion and the homemade pause button connected to the pins of the 68000 was king of the schoolyard and of XCopy
The only one without external floppy I knew was the retard with Saddam virus on his XCopy, who stored his floppy on top of his tv, nobody wanted to swap games with that guy.
Harddrives and other serious hardware upgrades was only used by people who did professional stuff like animation.
