@T3000&Everyone

It was a little over a year in the making..to be honest.  Not sure where I saw the  ad..but..I called the guy..and he was about 45mins from me..How lucky is that..
Trouble was that he didnt want to ship the gods to anyone..so I guess thats why he didnt sell it..Well anyway after chatting many times on trying to schedule a pickup.  He stopped responding to emails/phone calls..
Then one day about just recently..I get a call at work.  Its this guy with the 4000T Toaster/Flyer that I spoke to a little over a year ago..WOW..Im like
Sweet..and he just wanted it gone so he said its mine if I want it otherwise
he was going to chuck it..so I left work early and drove down and picked it
up.  Keyboard, mouse, systems disks and manuals ..plus a Drive-in tower
and another card that he said allowed you to connect to a PC???
Well it says TRUEVISION on the card..not really sure what that is.

Oh and he also found some ToasterClub cds a few days later and he
shipped those to me.   Bottom line he told me he wanted the Amiga to
go to a good home and that I should keep him posted as to how she is
working and what Im doing with it...mmmm..the possibilies are endless

@stopthegop..

Well I have to say that this guy new what he had.  He also took great care of the machine, Very clean and dust free.  Front bezel is great as well as the door.
He used it to make a living..He also knows that the Amiga is not just some PC.
The above post by me should explain..

Take care and thanks for the post..

Rich

Thank you everyone..for your responses.  Worth more to me than money..but
your prob. correct in that estimation.  
I will attempt to teach myself the ins/outs of the toaster/flyer..be creative and have fun..those are the plans so far..perhaps play with Lightwave..
I have another 4000T 060(Im the orig. owner)..bought from Anit-Gravity, remember those guys..Took forever to get and cost me like $2700 I still have the orig. reciept.  
Can I link the two Towers togther for any advantage useing the Toaster/Flyer setup..
Oh and what is this TRUEVISION card??

Anyone, Anyone....

Take care
Rich

Im sure there are others like mine..but for me I would have to agree with you!!
Oh and the guy just sent me some "FrameFactory" CDs..
Do people feel this way about thir Apples..or PCs.?  I doubt it.
If this was a PC the guy would have chucked it in the garbage a long time
ago.
