Fun?  Fun?  I remember that word.  I used to use it a lot before I got married.

I am still newly married so I do have some fun left laying around lol.
 
I was playing on my 600 today and decided to play Fantasy land Dizzy. Not played it years and boy the memories came flooding back. good times

See, you haven't reached that point yet where she comes up to you and says those dreaded words "Either that computer goes or I go".

It is bloody annoying to have to pause a game of Alien Breed Tower Assualt to help her pack a suitcase and then drive her to the bus station.

I to say that Amigas are great fun as long as they're running OK, but my systems seem to be so patched now that keeping them running smoothly can't be a major pain in the arse.  My A4000 with its combination of Zorro and PCI cards as been known to throw a major wobbler at times when you install a new program or update a driver.  The best thing about an Amiga compared to Windows is a "backup" just means using DOPUS to copy one hard drive to another and "restore" is just doing it in reverse.

Minimigs are a joy to use.  SD cards full of ADF files = no read/write errors.

I've got a spare A1200 in an Elbox tower.  My goal, whenever I get the time (so many projects, so little time) is to get it running with a ClassicWB hard drive installed and eBay it.  The only problem with Elbox towers is that they cost a lot to ship because of the weight.

Never actually seen an Elbox up close. So don't know it's actual real life dimensions. I would imagine that they come with a good slab of metal on the bottom. I know a lot of old PC cases did.

I've got 3 of them.  2 with A1200 mobos and 1 for my A4000.  They're great bits of kit of you want to really expand your A1200 and essential of you want to add a Mediator.
