Woe is me
« on: March 16, 2012, 02:54:51 PM »
Hi Guys,

I'm torn. My finger is hovering over multiple "bid buttons" on ebay. Many years ago I had a A500, sadly no more. Every year or so I feel drawn to ebay to buy one and do "something".

BOOT
I'd like to pimp an a500 to the max purely to see "what could have been". But then I think, yeah but...why not an A600?....or an A1200? (get the benefit of all those new goodies still coming out and not be limited to the stuff I can run) and then I start thinking "is it a good investment?" why not wait for Natami (surely not long now...?). Then I go back to the A500 cos a "new" machine wouldn't have that warm, fuzzy feeling and that blue and orange workbench...Then I think, "I've got no room for it anyway and the missus will kill me" so I start thinking about UAE (tried it, very good, not the same), need a real machine...which one? A500? A600?  aaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!! Guru.

BOOT
It's getting so bad I'm actually figuring in my decision as to wether I buy a bigger house or not...but then...if I did...I maybe wouldn't be able to afford all the goodies I want...and I haven't got the time anyway...and she'll still kill me...aaaaarrrrggghhh!!!! Guru.

BOOT
So...boys and girls...what do I do? Someone...hold my hand and tell me it's all going to be alright. Will the evil guru ever go away? On a more serious note, if only someone had made cheaper hard drives back in the early 90's I think I'd still have my A500...I wonder what I'd have on it now? There's loads of stuff on ebay, hard drives, memory upgrades, accelerators...you could build a nice little system...but the 1200 is more expandable....STOP IT!!!!
Are we there yet?
