A500, Kick 1.2, 512kb mem expansion and en external floppydrive.

I have a feeling this thread will see a lot of 500's :)

My own was a 1200, plain stock except an external floppy drive. Kept the beast until 96 or 97. Must have been closer to 97.

I am surprised at the lack of 1200's as there was plenty of them in my friends circle, but the 500 was definately ubiquitous.
And to be fair, you could play kickass games, do some word processing for school, and some graphics / music on the little beast.

Interestingly, almost everybody had the ram expansion to 1 megabyte.

But that was 88, 6 years further in 94 there were more and more pc's, Amiga's became very rare in businesses.
Maybe not in the UK, but here in the Netherlands I didn't see them anymore.
Then again the UK sold 30 times more Amiga's than Netherlands and Belgium combined.


Some of the difference too is that in 88, a PC cost you an arm and a leg. By 94, they only cost an arm and half the leg :)
