I'm 1/2 thru my A1200-re-boxing project, which as I explained to someone at work is a pretty pointless task (said person was confused as to why i had just blown £40 at Maplin on connectors and screws).
New clothes do not a powerful computer make, and I know that my A1200 wont be any better in his new house (albeit with the addition of a CD-ROM).
So why am I doing it ? Because I love my Amiga. I have always loved Amigas, I work with PCs day in and day out, from power-desktops to massive server rooms full of the latest 1U rackmount servers, and none of them have the feel that the Amiga does.
I can't explain it better than that, it just is.
