Bonza Mayte.  Sydney, I would have said Brissy.  
In any case did everybody cringe when he started trying to remove the RAM module from the trapdoor?  My toes curled.
You bloody beaute mayte!  Pretty good with most of the facts.  Did his research.

a recording of yourself sounds very different from what you think it does (learnt that when I posted some vids of my kids for my mum on youtube and she is all, 'thats not you talking'..).

I watched the 40 minute video in about 15 minutes as I had to keep fast forwarding...

OMG! what a bunch of naysayers!!! follow his YT channel and maybe (only maybe) you will learn a thing or two about electronics gears.

I just watched all 40 mins of that for some reason.  No idea why.   Seen the inside of an A500 enough times.  Huy is obviously very enthusiastic  about old tech :)
 
Looks like an auz version of dooomy :)

I like his videos.

Hadn't heard of him until the beginning of the week when I saw a video when he tested ChipQuick to remove SMD components. I will watch some of his videos when he is testing or working with PCB software. His way of speaking reminds me of Steve Irwin.

As a general comment, I appreciate people doing videos about electronics and electronic design/repair. More geekness to the people:D

While I admit at first this voice was pretty annoying I like his no bs style. He can be pretty funny and usually pretty knowledgeable. I've learned a few things.

I was cringing at certain parts of that videoand wanted to see him get a little deeper of course.

Overall I'm still happy that we got some coverage and that he looked at it....not often enough that I see Amiga stuff outside of a few sites.

I didn't find his voice annoying.  But there again you should hear some british accents.  Try listening to a scouse accent for a few mins :)

"She's looking pretty angry, think she's gonna bite!" Loool

Great video though. He's grown on me after watching a few of his vids. I've gotten used to his Joe Mangel/Steve Irwin accent now, it's no worse than Welsh at least. ;)

I find a lot of his older vids are better. his teardown of the train PA system is really good, very interesting vid as he has the original designer (his friend) there too. some of the compromises are crazy!

I tried watching it but I just couldn't handle the voice, it was so bloody annoying. The voice reminded me of that comedian who did the Chopper parodies.

All I can say is that thankfully people in the parts of Sydney I have been don't sound like that.

I found the video very interesting thanks for sharing. I understand why some people find his voice irritating, but I think he is just trying to lighten up his videos and I don't find it particularly annoying, he actually reminds me a bit of the late Steve Irwin. :)

For those that can't handle any eccentricity should check out the A500  teardown from "nathandumontdotcom" which is also a good teardown video.

It's an accent, who cares???
We all have accents that are annoying to someone, I'm sure...

I've always liked his channel...

Good info...

Mildly inaccurate, but the accent is fine. Y'all don't understand that those of us from the southern US hear different accents from minute to minute.  No one has the same accent and if we got upset over a different one, we would be constantly pissed.
