An A500 w/512k expansion, 1084s monitor, external floppy drive, a dot matrix printer (don't remember the model), and a modem. Used to dial into my university's network and download Amiga stuff from the internet before the WWW became a reality.

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!"


Holy crap I owned that same desk! In fact, my setup was almost identical to yours. About the only difference was I didn't have a hard drive on my A500.
