so, what sort amiga christmasses have you all had?

Amiga A1000 w/RGB Mon -  Christmas 1985

Other Xmas's

Arctic Fox
Warlords
1084S monitor

Can't remember if there were any more over the years, as I usually wouldn't wait for the holidays to own a cool program or hardware.

Well this month I bought a s/h Philips CM8833-II, and scored a FREE 1.2 A500 with 512 expansion.

Does that count?

Or . . . . I've just had ADSL installed to this A1, thanks to the payment my wife contributed to the Tech who config'ed the Modem and the A1!  ;-)
