Boy are you a lucky person, you bagged one big tuna. Microsoft employees have deep pockets, jack the price up 3X and don't look back. :-D
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Microsoft is interested in my CD32 and Amiga gear.


Are you talking about the model that Sega resold as the SX32 addon for the Genesis?  If so, then it makes you wonder why emulators such as Gens can't run amiga software...

Especially since (if I recall correctly) the SX32 came with a slightly changed version of the CD32 and and/or a bridge chip to the Genesis?

Just don't send it DHL...anywhere! If your wondering why, click here[/url (search for 'DHL').  It might be a little of topic, but since it's related to shipping, it is relevant...since your goal is to get rid of it, right?

Anyway, I too had to send an HP back to them for service back in 2000, and on the way back, DHL delivered it to the wrong addresss...in a different state.  At the time I was living in Georgia.

I am quite curious as to why?


Me too!

I dont know if I should sell it to him.


Okay, I would gladly buy it...just PM me with the info and your e-mail addresss...assuming you check your e-mail more often than your a.org messages!  :-D

Again, a CD32 would be MILES better can the glitch-prone UAE emulator....that's why I'm interested.

The only question is, in the above case, what would I need to connect it to a DB15 switchbox? Perhaps via USB???

@leirbag28: i think that if he want it for ms he (or others) buy one from vesalia or retropack and nobody could ask him the reason or suspect him :-)

We also don't need users on this forum IMHO that call people "idiots", "retarded" or "lunatics" in almost every post.

@Flashlab

I wasn't calling anybody an idiot.  I was simply pointing out the inability of DHL to properly and prompty deliver packages on time and at the correct address.  I was only trying to warn lierbag28 about who to avoid.  Especially since I've encountured their crooked billing/shipping department myself.  :crazy:

@ Laser

You should adjust your attitude somewhat.

How many times have people told him that? It's getting pointless...

Like I said in my original reply in this topic I said I don't believe his conspiracy theory and he should just sell the CD32 to the MS guy.

My point is about the way you tell people. You really don't need to call people names to get your point across.

Laser, rtfm before posting in these forums.

Sounds like you dont like ports or even remebered about thoose non Amiga games which popped up on cd32 only...

i can atleast think of 2 games which wasnt ports , and there is quite more too (ok well maybe 10 :-p) .

The MisAdventures of Flink (imo one of the best games on cd32)
Final Gate (ok..its not that good :D).

btw i know of quite a lot of people who loved superfrog on cd32 and that is even unchanged from disk to cd.
Whats up with all the hate!

I don't want to get into a flame war, but I can't let this slide. I happen to believe in ghosts, and I'm open to the idea of UFOs. Am I a retarded lunatic?

Stupid and stupid post
I can believ ppl replying this stupid question
sometimes I think that ppl in this forum are retarded


If it's so stupid, why are you wasting your time replying to it?

@leirbag:

So maybe this guy is genuine and wants it for himself because he has seen the light of how crappy Microsoft is. :-D


Really, he identified himself as a M$ employee? Came by your place still wearing his M$ badge?

9 times out of ten, his old C= 64 or A500 is moldering in his moms attic, and he just had a craving for something a little simpler that harkens back to his younger days of kickass computing, courtesy of C=. No big deal.
