Well, I can tell you right now that is one of your main problems. Having a small furry creature stuffed into your computer could result in no end of damage!!! :lol:
Obviously, I'm just kidding. Hope you aren't too angry at the computer to laugh at it. Anyway, I bought my A1200 somewhere around 1989 (sound about right? can't remember when they came out) and it has never given me the slightest burp of a problem. I tend to leave my software simple and my hardware hasn't chenged in a looong time (last thing I added was an external hard drive in 1993). Anyway, as someone else said... any piece of electronics can fail eventually without warning (my vcr died yesterday and it's only 9 months old!) but I think on the average you'll find the Amigas were made with extreemly superior quality considering where computers were technology-wise back then. I doubt you'll find as many people having a blast with their x486 IBM clone machines today!
I hope your problems clear up and things become more fun soon.
