Got my A1000!

[drewz21]

I just got my A1000 that I won off a recent Ebay auction and I'm very impressed!  It's beautiful!

Here is the link to the auction.

It works great.  I'm going to post some pics this weekend.  I do have a question though.  I want to remove the cover and look at the signatures.  How do I safely do that?

Now if my A4000 would just arrive from boogiegail.

Thanks in advance!!!

You are right, koaftder, it was a bit much but as I stated earlier this purchase was purely emotional.  It looked like, and turned out to be, such a beautiful example of an A1000.  I hope the pictures I post this weekend do it justice.  I didn't even know the A1000 had a different mouse than the other Amigas.  So far everything works flawlessly.  I think I'm going to get an external floppy for it though.  I've got it running beside me and I'm playing Drakkhen, one of my favorite RPG type games on the Amiga.

Again, does anyone know how to safely remove the case so I can see the signatures?

Oh, I did have an e-mail when the family and I got home from dinner that boogiegail shipped the A4000 today via UPS ground.  Since it's coming from TN and I'm just in AL I hope it gets here before the weekend.

Thanks so much, mr_a500!!!

Thanks for the feedback there muffler-man!!!

I'm sure we've all paid too much, in someone else's opinion, for something we enjoy, collect, or really want.

I know car customization can be very costly.

A big congrats to you Mike!  I'll get my pics up this weekend.

Boogiegail came through as I received my A4000 today and it was just as described.  Very nice looking and with everything as promised.

Now I've got to get myself a better monitor besides my 1084S.

@Jeff

Well I purchased a Toastscan from Softhut at the time I bought the A4000 from Boogiegail.  It got to my house first.  hehe

Anyway, I hooked it up to my A4000 and then connected my Viewsonic 17GS but was unable to get a clear signal for more than 5-6 seconds.  It just kept scrolling and blanking.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and I was going to e-mail Softhut to ask them about it.  There was no documentation with it.

Thanks,
Drew
