Sorry, I'm about as die hard Amiga as you can get... and I own 11 Amiga A4000s... and I do have OS4 running on a 233mhz PPC... but once my first SAM arrived it's never been turned on since...

And now my second SAM is 1 gig etc... my first SAM doesn't get turned on... well, actually it's only supposed to be a backup board and I assure you it loves the inside of a anti-static bag... Italy is a long way from NZ... lol

I will setup an older Amiga at some stage but not anytime soon...

11 A4000's!!!  You need to sell a few of those to new recruits and make some new Amiga users with half of those machines.  (just a suggestion)


I understand the logic but you simply collect Amigas as you go along because you never sell anything Amiga... well, that's what has happened in my case...

I am considering selling a few A500s at some stage, going to build nice systems with A590s etc... got 25 of that model, SO... that's a few more than 11 and I wouldn't feel it so much ;-)

Maybe one of them will become a programmer and write something really great for our AmigaOS, MorphOS, or AROS (ICAROS) systems.


This would be a rather more desirable outcome than the users I used to know back in the day who were happy to buy the hardware but preferred pirated software...

Could never work out how people could enjoy something they hadn't paid for...

I play 360 games at the moment and I've brought every one... thing is, I've finished them all as well... generally people who pirate software haven't got alot of time for finishing games they decide aren't quite up to spec... and generally if you buy it you would try harder too :hammer:
