Title: I finally did it.
Post by: JC on July 09, 2009, 06:14:30 PM

Well, I'm just a little bit excited right now because I broke down and finally ordered an 800mhz Samiga w/1gig of ram and wireless card from Amigakit. I haven't ordered anything new from an amiga dealer in a long time so it's quite a thrill. I also ordered Heretic II from software hut. Anyone else out there with a Samiga ever tried Heretic with it, I hope it works. Guess I'll find out once they both arrive. :-)

Congrats! Exciting purchase indeed. I've been on the fence for a while too. Nice to see some of the dealers offering pre-built systems now. A little too rich for my blood at the moment, but one of these days...

Thanks, well they must be selling pretty well 'cause Amigakit told me that they only had 1 left after selling me mine.

Unless they only had two in stock to begin with.

Congrats, you will love it! I really like my 667 especially with the latest "Quickfix" and updated audio drivers.

If it's running Amiga OS, then does it matter whether it's sanctioned by some company/guy that owns the "Amiga" hardware trademark -- especially a guy that has run that trademark into the dirt by trying to sell tip calculators and evil snowman apps, and promising
$10 Million that he doesn't have for a sport stadium?  (OK, I'll stop now.)
