@ llwrath

You need at least one more catagory: Rescuers.

I'm a user but I have rescued more Amigas than I can use at once.  I find them sometimes for free and can't stand the notion that they might be lost.  Then I spend money (not too much) expanding them in a way unique to the others in the collection.  I treasure all of them.

I wouldn't mind parting with a few, but, I can't find anyone who would value them as they deserve to be.  

Also, Amigas are trapped by their video output. It's not too tough to find a 500, but, displays that will do it justice are becoming rare and expensive for a 20 year old machine.

One last thought.  Many ppl seem to be concerned about Amiga hardware failures.  I've been an Amiga user since '88, and haven't seen any catastrophic failures.

Sorry to take so long, I was out of town.  I haven't tested the G-Lock thoroughly yet.  I also don't yet own an LCD TV, I will probably take the plunge in a month or so.

What I need is a non-traditional work area for many computers.  Rather than a table top, I want the computers to surround a comfortable swivel chair.  The A500s could be arranged vertically and cascaded back so all the keyboards are accessable.  The monitors could be arranged in a U shape a little higher up.  Yeah! A pod for a keyboard & mouse could rotate over my lap after I sit dowm.  An Amiga environment! (and a few other machines, too)  I could sit in the middle and boot them all up, test any configuration I want.

I can dream.
