Show the woman who's boss... make her wash the dishes and do the ironing - in a 1950's apron.


It's not about who is the boss, but who is smarter.
If you have all your stuff nicely placed inside a chest / cubboard / desk than the whole issue would never arise in the first place. Just like playing chess, always see one step more ahead. :)

I've never heared someone say:" Oh my goodness, your room looks so nice, lets clean it up!!"

But the problems arise when you go to move house and the effort of moving the cupboard / chest / desk becomes an issue for the lady of the house.  Particularly if you are downsizing and it becomes a choice between her shoe rack and your cupboard full of Amiga gear!

Amiga Vs Shoes, Daddy Vs Chips, Good Vs Evil...

Did you try this ?
Just like chess, you have to make an offer sometimes. Offer some of your time to go shopping in a furniture store to buy nice NEW cupboards to fit in the new house to put your stuff in.

Anyway,.. hope you don't have to sell too much if you loose.

choh! wimmin! mines as bad she'd rather I got rid of all my 'junk' as she puts it.
gotta force the compromise, mate! I have two 1200s - one in an A1200 magic pack box on top of the wardrobe, and the other on me desk next tom an AmigaOne. I have one monitor.
actually, she did allow a Peecee into the house (mainly so the kids can play scoobydoo !) but it was a free ancient 450MHz Viglen from my mother.
I have all this stuff (including a brace of speccies and a ZX81) and still have room for 3 children and a wife!
I suggest you keep one A1200, and the best Accelerator.
keep one box and sneak another 1200 in for spares ;-)
keep the disks, and sell any stuff you have dupes of.
