and a cd burner,


In '91?  My god, how much did that cost, and how much was the media?  Please, tell me more!

In '91 I was driving around an A500 with 2mb RAM (512k on-board, 512k trapdoor, 1mb in ZIP RAM in a Supra-RAM sidecar), an external AIR floppy drive and an Adspeed and I think an upgraded Denise.  Although I could be wrong about that.

Oh my display was a 13" color TV :P

The next system I had after that was around '93, and it was an A1200.  Before I sold it all off it had acquired a 1084S monitor, a DKB Cobra 030 card, 4mb RAM, and a 60mb HD.  

In retrospect, I wish I'd learned more about Shapeshifter or whatever and run Mac OS for the continuing software base.  Now, I do not care for Apple computer one whit but being able to "dual boot" and getting access to the games that drew me away from the Amiga (FPSes mostly) and a little later, web-browsers...if I'd kept my wits about me I might have held on to my Amiga a bit longer. :(

Of course I might have also wound up as a ravening mac fan and how terrible would that have been?  I shudder to think.
