Guys, we had exactly the same thread on our french amiga board about our local repairman/reseller that some of you may know (not to mention Amigancenter whom also has health problems).
You need to consider that all those hobbyist amigans are now getting old. We are no more teenagers with simple and cool lives (only Cammy appears to still be a young person :-)). Some are ill, some have family, personnal or professional problems, such as what we get in a real adult life.
So keep it easy. The few bucks of yours that Amigamaniac is holding probably won't jeopardize your estate.
