I did EXACTLY the same thing. Sold the whole "farm" (A4000T with all the extras) in '01. Used the substantial proceeds from my Amiga sellout and flushed the money into a "state-of-the-art" billblozeXP 1.5 'GIGA-hurts' Dell which is now worth exactly zero, possibly less. It took less than a week before I realized what a horrible mistake I'd made. I rank it in the top two stupidest decisions of my entire life, right up there with selling, for $400 -- beer money; my absolutely mint condition 1964 Vespa with 200 original miles on it. Can you say, STUPID?!! I still have the Dell. It makes a lovely flowerpot in the spring. I have a nice Amiga system now, too. I'm afraid they'll never be a second chance on the Vespa. I had acquired the Vespa from my neighbor for a summer's worth of free grass-cutting and landscaping. His son had bought the bike in 1965, brand new. He rode it one semester, was drafted to serve in Vietnam and was killed in combat shortly after. The bike sat in this guys garage until 1987, the year I 'bought' it. I had it for two months before I deciding that I "needed" money for my first semester of college.
