I discovered the leaking capacitors in the Amiga Classics world : I started a blog in december 2009 to inform the community...

Before me, nobody here talked about capacitors...

C'mon, dude.  I am often as a silent supporter of yours as I find you quite resourceful, but I really have to call you out on this one.

While your findings are not unappreciated, the first time I heard about reversed and leaking capacitors in Amiga systems was back before I moved to college, so that would be, at the most recent, 1998.  As well, I remember one of the active dealers at the time with a HUGE tech support web site was offering re-cap services and kits.

Frankly, whether it was discussed here at AO is irrelevant.  Bad and leaking capacitors are not issues which only arose in the past six years, Amiga or otherwise.  Please don't belittle your other efforts by claiming this -- choose something far more brilliant.

Follet's comment about dealers having issues with flashable kickstart replacements, because it potencially could be used to load unlicensed kickstarts, is just ridiculous- by same argument they should stop selling computer gear alltogether.


Like hard drives, floppies, USB sticks, CD-RWs, DVD-RWs.... or maybe our countries should just levy a tax on all blank media.  (:sealed: before someone hears me.)
