Calling time on classic hardware.

[CritAnime]

I have decided to call time on classic hardware. I just don't have the time or money resources to continue playing with classic miggies. I was in the process of towering a 1200 but it was proving to be a stretch with work, home life, 6 month old son and a lack of disposable cash due to the normal payments of living.

So it's all gone but gone to homes that can look after it all and give the hardware the much needed love and use I just couldn't afford to them.

Sniff.

I am not giving up completely Iam going to use the dark arts of emulation to get my fix for the time been. But as you say I have to give somewhere and unfortunatly the miggy collection went

To be honest the money was used for a holiday and to wrap some outstanding credit that was left on a card. I wasn't in debt trouble or anything so extreme and made payments but anything to ease the strain was enough

And Darrin I looked into FPGA solutions but again it's time and money plus my stupid monitor wouldn't support it. The holiday sounded much nicer lol. I did have a bit left over for a 1541 U II.

When my child gets older I will start to invest again and the break from it all will make it all the more sweeter. But for now, and I draw a real tear in my eye, I can't be with real miggy hardware. It's a shame because I loved the old girls like they were family pets, part of the family. But i had to let them go. To better homes.

-ps

yes honestly I was gutted to sell them. But at least I have my C64 still.
