Im a huge Amiga n00blit.
That being said, even I am fully aware that if you want new shinies to stick in your Amiga, you have to fork out some money.
If you can afford to keep an old machine fairly current, you should be able to afford another doodad to stick in it.
If not, whaaaaaawahaaaaaa. You've been doing fine without it yeah?
Its more like a "keeping up with the steins" than a "this is too expensive"
Not everyone can immediately afford new stuff. Some have to wait. Woopeedoo. (I can't even afford an Amiga 500 atm. lol)
