Howdy all, I've been sniffing around here for a while but hadn't signed up, but after reading this post I felt compelled to reply, even though I don't have anything meaninful to add.
I just hope life gets better for the poor guy in question. Hapiness I think is a state of mind, but having a dead end job and not enough money to make life comfortable certainly makes things hard.
I wish you well and hope you can hold on to your Amiga.
Andy.
