Because there was an area of high pressure over Wonderland and she
forgot to put her hat on.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hey if you think that chip's hot you should see my EZ-VGA Plus on a
hot day, it gets so hot I can feel it under the desk! Must be the
flicker fixer chips.

Same with the '060, it's supposed to be cooler than the '030 but
sometimes gets too hot to touch.

What is the best way too cool things like this, 1" fan or some sort of
heatsink?

I keep hearing the A500 era was the best because the chips were
socketed but people seem to forget that a socket lets oxidisation
occur so the possibility of impurities within a circuit would decrease
reliability wouldn't it?

If a chip goes wrong it's best to send it for repair anyway just
incase other damage has occured such as fuses blowing.

In my opinion mass-market products are better quality because anywhere
you remove the human element in production of a product - the more
precision built it is.

Humans don't do things the same everytime, so with products you either
get a bad batch (which would be recalled) or a complete line of
identical perfect machines.

Just out of interest, does anyone have a list of sales figures for
every Amiga model (including the CD32/CDTV)? It would be nice to see
which sold the best, A500 or A1200!

:-D :-D :-D :-o :-D
