I have £1000 sitting in the bank, waiting for my 10 year dream of a new amiga.

Do you suggest I spend it on a modern PC and leave the scene?
Naaa spend a few £'s on the girlfriends PeeCee.
Or, should I continue to wait and hope *and* occassionally (and I'm sure most that know me would agree that it *is* only occassionally) have a bit of a whinge about the delays?
Have the odd whinge like a most of us do who are waiting....
I was gonna cancel my A1 order saturday morning as that was the limit of my waiting. The girlfriend for months was the one saying "New Amiga... Flying Pig". However, saturday morning came and she who does not beleive in the Amiga Fairy talked me out of it.
So I cancelled the RAM @ eyetech prices that was nearly £200 for 1GIG.
So for the £200 the PC got a 40GiG HD, 512Meg DDR, ATI 9100 128MB, New Case (Transparent side) + Round ATA100 Cables.
I got the 2 sticks of PC133 and the 30Gig HD out the PC to use in my A1.
Also, do you really think I'm stupid because I don't (and probably never will) own a modern PC? (Although I may buy a mac)
Moderns PC's (Win2K) arn't that bad. Admittidly I use the girlies PC more than I should as for the MAC option, have you seen the prices of them. Admittidly i've only looked at them in PCWorld but £1800 for a G4 800Mhz Lamp Stand is a bit much.
Plus if the worst comes to the worst and OS4 never turns up you can use MOL on your A1 so you can still have a MAC.
