Not something you see everyday on ebay, but still kinda dodgey
« on: February 06, 2012, 09:19:14 AM »
I found this while browsing ebay:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Amiga-X86-OS-3-9-High-End-Classic-Amiga-Platform-/220947760260?pt=AU_Computers_Vintage&hash=item3371834484#ht_500wt_1140

Ultimately it's pretty much a discussion about piracy, but just curious what other people think about selling this sort of thing. Errs on the side of dodgey in my humble opinion.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

To be fair, it may come with legal copies of both WindowsXP and AmigaOS/Kickstart files, but it doesnt mention it if it does. For me that's what decides whether I think its dodgey or not.
