Honestly, as I sit here in the middle of towerizing my A4000D in a very nice Antec case with an overclocked A3640 and a Mediator 4000D... I often wonder the same thing. I think of the large amount of money, time, blood, sweat and tears I've crammed into this thing... And wonder why the hell I didn't just stick to emulation.
Then, I think back to the days gone by... Sitting at home with my 8088 playing on the bulletin boards... Downloading MODs to use on videos I'd make at the local access TV station (which used A2000s). I remember how much fun those days were and how much I got sucked in by the machines.
I just don't get that joy from my current PC. Hell, I get more fun tinkering with the 4 SGI Indy's I just aquired.
Someone please get me a bleepin time machine!
