Yes lucky they were macs and not amigas...

I see no use for old macs other than morphos. If it can't run morphos its trash...

When a company I worked for got liquidated they threw some Macs in the skip. I did the only decent thing. I asked the boss if I could take them home.
 He said yes and I sold them to a Mac fanboy. They all went to one guy too. I sold one Powermac on ebay and when he came around to pick it up I showed him the rest and offered him a bargain bundle price for  the lot. He couldn't resist.
 So there I am helping him load them into the car and his girlfriend is sitting in the passenger seat. I'll never forget the look of "I'm going to kill you when we get home" on her face.
 LMAO, anyone here know how he felt? I bet a few of you do. ;)

Did you ever hear from him again?;)

My partner have been asking me why I buy these 'useless, old computers'. Useless? It's Amiga! Some of my stuff requires a bit of a refurbishing (A1000 with a keyboard that has a dozen non working keys, A500 which generates Gurus out of the blue) so I guess that's why she is confused:D

No but he left me positive feedback on ebay. In all honesty he got a bargain deal. I spent the cash on Amiga stuff at the time too. I've sold that stuff since but hey ho, all I need is an A1200 and a CD32 and I'm happy.

Hey! A sane Amiga user.
They DO exist.

Actually, my wife says she's happy that I collect old computers.

According to her, it's better than me being a hunter and bringing home a deer for her to gut!

In that case, you should bring home some completely dead amigas and make her gut them for parts..
