Just a quick little poll to test the durability of the Amiga line. Have you ever had an Amiga die on you?
Never had one die, outright. I have had several that have "quirked out", though. They just keep exhibiting worse and worse behavior until you shelve them.
An A3000 that seems to have a bad ZIP in it, maybe? It'll work for a little while and then guru. Not a heat issue. Does seem to crash faster on RAM intensive things. Haven't cycled through all RAM to test it. (it's currently on my shelf -- if anyone wants it, make me an offer! I'm too busy to fix the darn thing.)
2 A1200's with white FLICKER 'O' DOOM bug. One degraded to the point I sent it back to C=. (Could hardly read the screen in any mode other than NTSC) Replacement started acting badly, so I sold it and took the money and put it toward my cherished A4000.
1 A1200 CIA fried due to stupidity.
Other than that, they've been good. And I've logged a LOT of hours on my 4000 and a few of the other miggies I've owned.
