Amiga 2000 PC Emulator Kit - BRANDNEW !! VERY RARE !!
« on: August 01, 2005, 07:56:45 AM »
As far as I know the package came from a shop that closed down (now why would that be in these fantastic Amiga days) and the card was never even used and only taken out of the box to make pictures of it. It has a brandnew 5,25" drive in it, never used. Of course this doesn´t have much use anymore these days ...

Cyberus : the difference between "brandnew" and "as new" or "like new" is that in the last two cases they must have been used before but still look in good shape. It´s like Vesalia still sells A1200´s that they found in an unknown warehouse and had been there for years after the production has stopped. Then how do you want to call those A1200´s they sell at Vesalia ?? Used ?? As new and therefor used ?? Like new because they look new but are years old though never used ??? What word can I use which doesn´t offend people but still tells the story ???  :-?

bludger : if you want more info then feel free to ask. There is no secret to that card  :-)

Zac67 : no, Frits didn´t touch the board at all so no static electricity could have beeen transferred between the cat and the board. And for your information, Frits died two days ago of age and a lot of pain, couldn´t get his breath anymore so we had to put him to sleep forever ... so no more pictures of him ...

DoctorQ : I agree on most points, shall review my own view on the word "brandnew"  :-x (never too old to learn)  :lol: About the rare part, the card itself is far from rare but the total package is since it´s in original box with original manuals and a brandnew, sorry, like new drive  :-)

EDIT : found out there still wasn´t any bid so I rewrote the title to THIS one  :-) I hope this brings again some peace to this thread as it was not meant to cause this kind of commotion about the word "brandnew". I now realize that it has a slightly different meaning than I thought it had ...

And DoctorQ, thanks for your simpathy for our cat ...

Eh, I am the one who manages to convince his girlfriend to pose for me, though I have to follow her rules specificly not to show everything, only partial nudity !! For most boys it won´t make any difference but it does to her  :-)

Adz : thanks dude  :-D
