At this rate Franko's post count will exceed Karlos in just a few weeks.

:)


Got a lot of time to make up for as I didn't post anything for the last 24 hours, I went up into the loft late Monday night and the ladder fell away and I couldn't get back out again (me swollen feet prevented me from jumping down)... :(

Only got out this morning when the postman heard me cries for help and put the ladder back up... :)

Still I found a lot of interesting old stuff up there amongst the dead bodies that I'd forgot about (got a bit scary though when me flashlight went out). I'd recommend a a 24 hour stint in a loft to everyone, it's quite an experience... :)

Wow!! 100% use AROS... Sure one vote is a smallish sample size, but I feel the results are meaningful in a very real sense :)

-edit- down to 50% now... Stupid classic user ;)


Oi... you pompus cheeky AROS-OLE user, I was that STUPID classic user... ;)

Hard to drag an A4000T to and through Iraq and all that ;)


Perhaps, for your next tour of Iraq you should buy a whole load of old Amigas from ebay and take them with you, then you could open up a wee bazzar stall called Commodore Iraq and make a few bob from the locals... :)

Just tell em it's the most modern piece of kit available for the next 167,400 square miles and tell the punters the Syrians are still using Spectrums and the Iranians are still stuck on Acorn Atoms (sure to boost sales that is)... :)

Another vote for real.. erm I mean classic Amiga. Workbench 3.1 with a couple of patches rules them all :P

MorphOS is second on my list.

You got it right the first time... ;)

I'd never in 25 years heard the term "Classic" being applied to the Amiga until Hyperion released OS4.0 for "Classic" Amigas... :)

Now that's all these forums and sites refer to the Amiga as is "Classic" they should really be just called Amigas not "real" or "classic"... :)

Just saying like... ;)

@ Ismart

I couldn't help but take the bait... ;)

AGA is the best thing since... well since OCS... :)

(Don't even own any OCS only machines anymore, A1200s all the way... :D)

Hi,

I use Cloanto's Amiga Forever 2011. Even though I have all my classics set up, I turn them on about once a week in order to keep the batteries charged. Other than that I use a replaceable PC to use as my Amiga.

Just remember (FRANKO) when that old silicon goes, your pal (not video) is gone. I have one dead A500 and one dead A4000 up in the attic. My original A4000 keeps on singing though.  The two dead ones I bought from ebay.

Hi Smerf

No worries about when my silicon goes, got a cupboard full of backups to last me the rest of me lifetime... :)

The ex-wife on the other hand, now she's had problems with her silicon, I always knew there was something dodgy about that plastic surgeon... :D

Cheers

Franko

I picked the silence Franko.  Knew something was wrong.  I think I even posted as such somewhere yesterday. You could use A.Org as your 24 hour monitoring station.  You should post a next of kin phone number in your profile so when your away for 24 hours we can call them and let em know somethings wrong.

BTW:Classic's rool of course.


You kidding, if any of me family knew I was stuck up in the loft the buggers would come in and break the ladder then nick all me Amiga's & SNES RPG Games to flog on eBay... :furious:

It was quite good up there though, found an old VIC20 and some cartridges I'd forgotten about but best of all I found this really cool solid silver teaspoon that I never even knew about, it's shiney... :)

(PS:thinking of venturing up there again soon but this time I'll pack some sandwiches & a flask of tea, oh and some extra batteries for me torch, got pretty dark up there when they ran out and I want to check out what's behind what seems a freshly bricked up wall that I spotted... :))
