Greetings,

Since nobody makes them anymore. Most of us, Amigans, tend to just revive old, out dated machines. Buy and sell from e-bays, friends and others.
Kind of an analogy here that the Classic Amiga is slowly becomming an 'Endangered Species'. Unless someone(company), like Versalia, Softhut... etc should 'Buy' the original schematics and re-manufacture them.

Or we'll probably use it till it dies. :-( I hate that when it happens. Vintage Computers will never be use anymore than just mere display in a museum, which I also hate it when that happens too. Scary too if we see such classic in the dumpster!

A year ago, I was on my to a client when I just saw an A500 case-only and keyboard in the dumpster. It breaks my heart to see it. I could if I would get it out but I was in a hurry to get to work.... deep down I felt bad... :cry:

It's a sad reality!!! Are we doom to see it comming???

Let's all help save the Amiga Classic from 'Extinction'. :-D

Regards,

Gizz

Greetings,

Gee... Sorry about your shop Red. Just read this thread and realized Red's comment. Very ironic... :-(

Maybe I should also add to my title 'Classic Amiga dealers too are becoming an Endangered Species.'

Best of luck on your next endeavor!  :cry:
Always remember the Amiga. :boohoo:
