Love it!  We need to fill up their comment forum with praise for the Amiga, maybe they don't realize you can still buy them on ebay, etc.?


With current prices on e-/Ami-Bay, it might work out cheaper to spend the $1,000,000.

I liked this bit:
"Parts for the computer are difficult to find, Hopkins said. It is on its second mouse and third monitor."

Just a 2nd mouse!! I must have gone through a dozen in 20 years..! I'm currently back using an original A500 mouse so it shows how tough those original Commodore bits can be.

Final comment: they kept say "80s" computer, but it's running at least OS 2 which puts it firmly post-1990 - but okay, it's an A2000 which was on sale from '87-'92.
