No, just Irn Bru and Tennent's Lager. Most sinks have a tap for each.
Everything was better on the Commodore Amiga...

Digging your website too :)

Whats the specs of your lady ?


Thanks. I presume that by "lady", you're referring to my Amiga and not making an inappropriate inquiry regarding my wife. I didn't think it was that sort of forum...

I've got a huge lumbering A1200T with 68040 25Mhz, Cybervision 64 via Zorro II, 4Meg fast +2Meg chip (obviously), 120mb hd. In its heyday, it was hooked up to the net via 36kbps modem.

First of all; welcome :)
 
Nice setup, but the 040 depends on how it will run WHDload games, I'm sure it will do great, but not as good as 030 ones.
But having said that my ACA 1230's aren't doing well either, just have to find the right setup :hammer:

..... 68040 25Mhz ...... 4Meg fast


A 040 card with only 4MB ??? Well o.k. 4MB was pretty plenty in 1995 or so (my 1st 060 was an Blizz2060 with 8MB), but today you rarely ever see anyone with less than 32MB on such cards (128MB even more often).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

It's probably with standard 72 pin simms, so should be easy to fit 64mb or 128mb in it.
If he knows which card it is he can look it up, or we can tell it.

The set-up was from late '97 and hasn't really been used since 2001. Did the job back then...
