Morningsky,

I talked with AmigaDave who lives in Riverside.  He's very willing to help you get your files saved out.  Please contact him via the site's private mail to arrange this.  I'll drop his email to you via a private message.

Actually I live in Big Bear Lake, but used to live in Riverside and it is not far for me to visit there.  I have sent a PMail to Morningsky and offered to help him.  Thanks for the referral Bob.

Happy to see the equipment get a good home and Morningsky can get the files from it!  Although I've threatened my wife that I'd complete my collectionwith a 2000, it's a long drive from Sacramento to Riverside!

You're welcome!

You don't have an A2000 Bob???  2 years ago at the AmiWest 2008 Show (or was it the 2006 Show) the SACC group had a couple of stacks of A2000's 5 feet high that they were selling for $40 each.  Some even had 030 accelerator cards, SCSI controller cards, or RAM cards installed in them.

If you really want an A2000, I can probably help you out, but it is contrary to my new view and recommendation that all Amiga collectors take a good look at their Amigas that are just taking up closet space and try to get them into the hands of NEW Amiga users in the hopes that we can increase the number of Amiga hobbyists and if we are really lucky, we can get an Amiga into the hands of some young or old programmers that will find it an entertaining challenge to write some new code for our favorite computer system, or perhaps move forward and create something for one of the "Next Gen" Amiga systems (AOS4.x, MOS2.x & AROS), or both.

I know that such a hope is highly unlikely to produce any results, but it can't hurt and all those Amigas sitting in closets around the World aren't doing anyone any good (unless you are just hoarding them to use for spare parts some time in the future).  I have plans and hopes to reduce my collection from about 20+ Amigas down to 5 or less before the end of 2010 and try to get every one of them that I get rid of into the hands of a new Amiga user.  Some I will give away (don't ask, if you are already reading these forums, you don't qualify in my eyes) and some of my better higher spec Amigas will go to new users in some kind of programming contest, or other creative use of an Amiga.
