The current auction question.
"Q: Do you still have the key for the computer? Do you still have software that came with the machine? Thanks.
A: If I had the key, I would sell it on eBay for $15 to $25. Workbench 3.1 is already installed on the hard drive. You should already be familiar with this method, because this is the way modern PC computers are set up. You do not get the software CD or disks. You have to pay extra for them."
$15 to $25 for a generic key?
:lol:
No software disk, because current systems don't provide a disk unless you pay extra??? All systems I bought, even current ones come with recovery CDs. And anyway, how does that matter to a system from 20+ years ago that when sold came with the system disks?
But at least he responds to this question.
"Q: Hi again, would you throw in the stand as well? my drives would fit great under them!
A: Yes, but it would have to be shipped in a box by itself. I am sure that you would not want the stand to rub on or damage the Amiga 4000 computer. You will need the stand for the Amiga 4000, because without it, the keyboard blocks access to the disk drives, especially the lower one."
Though he doesn't mention how much extra that stand would cost you. It appears to be 2 2x4's about 2 foot long each, and 2 1x12's about as wide as the keyboard, plus a few screws. So it would cost about $20 to build 2 of them. It would have been better to have it so the keyboard could slide under the computer to get it out of the way when you don't need it.
