The trick is making sure the 'It's me or them' confrontation is at the very beginning of the relationship so that when you explain that 'you can get a new girlfriend if you keep the computer, but not a new computer if you keep the girlfrind', you are not already emotionally vested.
Hear hear! Very well put Belial6! I have a pet tarantula, I've had some girls over and they freaked out, saying 'You have to get rid of that
Thing! ' I show them the door, quickly....
Female tarantulas can live up to 32 years, few marriages last that long. :roflmao:
And to Gulliver, I'm also very happy that you, your family, and your miggies are OK. My prayers are with you.
'bad / scarring Amiga experiences'. Hmmm, my first ever hard drive.... I ordered a Supra SCSI interface w/ 40MB Quantum from one of the countless companies that had little ads in the back of various C64/Amiga mags. .... My drive never came... I called the company, then UPS... It seems that my drive was delivered to a vacant lot, and signed for....
The company was great about it, they sent a replacement.... but, it rarely ever use UPS anymore.
Not amiga-related... but with the same A500 / '030 system, I had a 100MB Zip drive, I loved it.... I had it sitting on the 'sidecar' HD interface of my 500. (the HD was in a seperate enclosure) One day, the drive slipped off and fell, a whopping 2 inches to the desk.... it killed my Zip drive...... I would have never gotten another, except a good friend gave me one.. and just then I found all of my old Zip disks...
