Was it a broccoli shaped tree?

Cauliflower - pfffft! Maybe cauliflower will work on MorphOS


That would be awesome if cauliflower could repair an Operating system! 8-)

Roadside vegetable stand/ PC repair shop combo? anyone?

I love it, but I feel the same way about sprouts as you do about broccoli.

hmm. I was almost expecting a thread about the James Bond movie chap, of the 'Cubby' variety.

incidentally, Sprouts are far more chuff inducing...

Whah! didn't laugh that way for months !

I'm very angry/hungry (who knows): i had to sell my 3000 on ebay as i couldn't find a 220v power supply for my beloved machine.

I just had to:

1)Eat broccoli
2)Wait some minutes
3)turn the fan of the power supply beside me
4)fart as possible into the fan
5)then fan will begin to turn
6)an electric current will be generated by the fan
7)turn on the power of the amiga
8)Yes ! IT BOOT !
9)fart enough to see workbench screen (very hard) !

Another amiga salvaged
Broccoli did it yeah !

Who want to try ??

For years as I was growing up I hated the insipid, dark grey-green overcooked boiled broccoli, which was all I ever tried.

When I eventually tried cooking it for myself - just steam it for 5-10 minutes...   Mmmmmmmmmmm   lush, crisp vivid green broccoli!!!  Delicious!!

A long time ago, they used to extract a white pigment from broccoli for use in printing inks, cosmetics, plastics and such. The only problem was, like broccoli itself, the colour soon changed to a mucky yellow. There's strong evidence that this very broccoli white was used in the construction of A1200 cases. The rest as they say, is history.

hmmmmm.....I reckon they used the pigment more in the earlier Amiga's cause the 1200s don't yellow very much, well none of mine have, but all my 500's are slightly off colour, not yellow though. And especially one of my 600s is as ripe as a bannana!

If you look at a pack of cards the 'Spades' as they call they are actually peices of Brocoli you'know!

No, that position is already taken by someone.

What? You can't be serious. The most you can do with a pancake is maybe use it as a mouse pad - and I use a trackball! Come on - pancakes aren't even a vegetable!

(...checks food chart...)

Oh, wait a minute! According to my Proctor and Gamble food chart, pancakes are indeed a vegetable. My mystake.

Pfff, real amigans use asparagus tips...with the added bonus that when fresh they double as a PDA stylus.
 Also, raw brussel sprouts make excellent replacement mouse balls.

You walk in to a computerstore with your broken Amiga:

'Sir, your computer is full of carrots?'

'Yeah I know, I didn't have any broccoli'
