Title: Exit Stage Left
Post by: Amiduffer on August 29, 2014, 10:11:54 PM

Wow, I never thought that I would be thinking this, but it's time to remove anything connected to C= Commodore from my life. This is happening to other areas that I used to have an interest in too. I'm at a point in my life where I've got to chuck a lot of material things that I don't use any more and just clutter up my room, to be boxed up and dragged around when I move, which is quite often. The sad part, is to see the old A3000 where I set it up under the table, where I never felt the need to connect it up and turn it on.

To you, this means that you're going to have the chance soon to buy a rather nice A3000D, a 1084s and some accesories.

Once I've dealt with my bad situation, I'll have to set it up and turn it on so as to get pictures, delete/remove all my personal files, box it up, and then auction it.

My best to you. Good luck resolving your current situation.

Yeah, no point in keeping stuff you don't use anymore. I just hope it isn't because of some nasty bull droppings.

@ Amiduffer

first thing I thought of when I read the title of your thread was "that was a great record"

anyhow sorry to hear you have to let your A3000 go & I understand where you're coming from as I was almost in the same state of mind a decade ago but thank goodness the total sellers remorse I had came flooding back to me after selling some of my Amiga stuff when I was so frustrated Commodore went belly up & the Gateway etc crap that I decided to only clean up a few things but kept my main machines, accelerators, drives etc.

anyhow when the miggy bug bites you again, & trust me it will once your situation settles, we'll be here to welcome you back home;)

That happened to me some years ago and I stored everything.
2-3 years ago the spark was alive again :-D

Good luck to you mate.

Thanks everyone. If there was the means of securely storing my Amiga, then by all means I would do so. However, the situation is almost nomadic in a way and having a minimal amount of personal stuff is the way I'm going.

For a time, I also had a collection of Amiga Forever, ImageFX, and AOS 3.9 together in a CD case that was my essential virtual Amiga and when it went missing, my interest in the platform kind of went with it.

In the future, when I catch the Amiga bug again, which I am certain to "get" :) and have the funds, then virtual Amigas will be the way to go.
