Franko. I don't think you have the right to complain about not working. You said before you went into early retirement because of a work injury but that doesn't mean you're finished. You seem quite knowledgeable about computers so maybe you could use that to find a job? IMO anyone who can heavily modify an A1200 (which most people can't) shouldn't have too much trouble finding a job.
If it comes to worse i'll take you surfing with me
