as I got my A4000 for $650 (sure makes it look like a bargain now, if i'm desperate b/c i need bread to feed myself this is a nice investment)

I thought you got a great deal considering that machine was near mint and came with a CV64/3D card :-D

How is the old beast holding up?

Kept the A1200, it's the last Amiga I have.  Decided to convert all the SCSI stuff to IDE (that is a bit different since I have always ran SCSI on my Amiga gear, learning experience) so I can stuff a small IDE CD/DVD drive inside the case and free up some desk space.

It was a GREAT deal for both of us, cause I knew it was going into good hands.

But at the time, no A4000T's sold for $300, especialy a near mint one like mine.

And if you do need to sell for bread, I would gladly buy it back. :-D

Do you think your children will buy old Amiga hardware at all?

I doubt they will buy amiga hardware because they never experienced the Amiga life before the crumble of C= plus they will all have some type of handheld device with them (e.g. pre-teens all having cell phones) with quite a bit of horse power that would emulate this stuff with no effort.

Considering there is already handheld emulation on the PSP and GP2X, no one will want to be confined to a desk any more and emulation will take over when our kids grow up and take our positions.
