That's it!
« on: April 04, 2003, 04:47:21 PM »
OK, I'm fed up!
The last month has been a total nightmare; I lost my job, my graphics card for the PC died, I got a virus in the PC ( so much for Norton... , and, worst of all, my miggy died.
I'm not going to get it repaired. I'm tired of this crap, so I'm going to sell it all ( actually, I'll keep the A600 for games ).
I'm not going to ditch the community ( I'd miss the politocal discussions too much :-P ), and I'm going too keep using UAE, but hardware wise the amiga is now dead for me...

Let's be honest though, even in the best of cases, it's 8 year old hardware with a designed shelf-life of 5 to 7 years.

Actually, the motherboard wasn't much older than a year, though it has proably been on a shelf for a while...

I am very, very afraid that this will start happening to lots of people at an alarming rate.

True. Good thing that emulators exist. I allready use it for all things amiga, except older games.

Bugger!

Glad to see your sticking around here though.

If you don't mind my asking, what happened to it?

Couldn't leave. This site is to addictive. If it handn't been for AO I wouldn't be around the amiga anymore.
I have no idea what happened to the miggy. One day it worked, the next it didn't. The acc. wasn't in the computer at the time, so it's still working.

Nope.
I think the C= stuff has better quality than the Escom stuff though...

Nobody said that anyone is abandoning the Amiga...
I'm just ditching my A1200. I'll still hang on to my A600 ( if it still works :-D ).

well that makes sense, but ggsdata has a1200 mobos for 850SEK if you want one.
Anyway since you aren´t abandoning the Amiga will you buy an AmigaOne???
I mean when OS4 is released of course.

Actually, I sold all of my amiga hardware this morning. A couple of guys came and picked it all up for 500:- ( a little bargain for them :-) ).
The A600 was picked to pieces, and I don't feel like assembling it again.
I also sold the trusty old A500 and every single game I had lying around.
UAE only from now on!

I'll probably going to buy an A1 as soon as my finances look a little better, though... :-D
