Well explained HammerD,
I remember a few months back quickly trying to hook up my Prometheus to my A4000 to do trials with the Radeon and couldn't find the the proper power cable, but in my rather large collection of odd cables I found what I thought would be a great replacement...
Errr, short answer NO and I fried my Prometheus, I don't remember saying I could no longer test this avenue any longer, no, I simply went to AmigaKit and found the link for another Prometheus and it was shipped to me, certainly it was my fault for not waiting until I found the right cable (I still don't know where it is actually) but I was more concerned with continuing my part in beta testing OS4.x for the 604e... It cost me personally 117.48 euro...
The moral of the story, however vague it is, IS that people who are seriously passionate about there Amiga computers are genuinely passionate about them... they go that extra mile because they enjoy what they do... I have always wondered about the validity of "other" Amiga users who seem to always simply complain or "point out these realistic shortcomings" of everyone elses endevours... when ever I found myself with something that didn't work but I wanted to achieve X... I'd just go out and get the extra bits and by the next day I was running X!
I never ever complained about what I couldn't do or what wasn't there... It's just like my approach to life, take work for instance, my work is not just a job, it is my choice of employment at the moment, I am the best I can be... I don't have to be here, it's my choice...
If you want to use an Amiga system that faces all these cons today, then get on with it and enjoy it... otherwise seriously, give it up...
There are MANY MANY more examples of what people spend on things they enjoy that alot of us will never understand... but it doesn't stop them enjoying it does it?
