LOL I didnt know that!
Now i know. :-0  
I will never look at that AROS cat mascot the same way
You are right @Hell Labs!

It's an odd thing about humans, make a big red button, in a glass box saying "do not touch, end of the world machine", and some bugger will press it before you leave the room. "I just wanted to see what it does!" is never a good excuse.


"TDK" indeed. At this point he might as well just admit it's him, then seek therapy. Metadata proves it and everything.

500gb hard disk, £60 dead. 2009.

Do not try to find any of his recent works. seriously, he's a pervert. Don't ask why, the answer can't be given on this message board, or even in the english language, without it being obcene. All I will say is that finding out about his "intrests" will ruin his work for you, and pretty much any cartoons ever.

What's wrong with Sabrina? I go there monthly and find it very amusing, especially the "transformer" stuff, but no Amiga strips in a few years.Sabrina is mostly harmless fun.

Looks like someone is out of the loop. Perhaps it is best you stay ignorant of the situation.

It would also be best if we stop talking about it now, okay?

I got 2gb of 800ish mhz ddr2 early 2009 for about £30. now the price has doubled. Wheee, gonna be stuck at 2.5gb for a while then!

Oh, I know about the "other" stuff, but Sabrina is Ok, maybe PG-13 at the most.

Hi I was doing some housekeeping and came up with some receipts.

From 1996: (in Australian Dollars)
3.1 ROM $155 A500/A2000

That's friggen expensive!

Wonder if they were making a profit on these or that was what it was costing them to make?

[NovaCoder]

Out of interest, was there ever a good time to buy 1260's cheap?  

The problem now is there are only a few that keep doing rounds and so the price's are through the roof.

 Sabrina Online is still a "suitable for work" page. Nothing that you or or your parents & grandparents didn't did.

 Of course, the same is not applied to After Dark URL, which is p0rn.

Stop naming things. Actually, just stop talking about it. I wasn't referring to sabrina online, anyway.

Back to prices.

[lauri.lotvonen]

Oh I wish that I would have a scanner right now, I'm reading the amiga and atari ads from MikroBitti (Finnish computer magazine, -88) and the prices are just outrageous :lol: 512kb ram expansion with battery costs almost the same as A500 .

[lauri.lotvonen]

Plain A2000 - 9995 finnish marks, about 1666 euros.

I just found the receipts for my original A1200, bought new in Feb. 1993.
The computer was $628.xx with tax, then the MBX 1200 w/4Mb RAM was $364.xx - and the Hard drive was another $302.75.
Obviously I really wanted that computer!
This was about the 10th machine that this shop received in '93 - and there was a crush trying to get one (in this area, anyway).
I just sold that machine less than a year ago - it's still working fine, as far as I know (although it had been upgraded over the years)

I also found a receipt for a GVP A500 II Hard drive/RAM unit with a 120Mb Quantum, and 4Mb of RAM cost 721.38 w/tax (another local store - Buried Treasure in Rockville Maryland - an Amiga Super Store in its day.

Im trying to remember when I bought my 1200, but propably 92 or 93.
 
It was 3000 kroner (about 500 US dollars) for the 1200 unexpanded. The bundle included deluxe paint 4, wordworth and two games (Oscar and Dennis)
 
My current computer was about 600 dollars from Fry's, and is 4 gig's of RAM. I don't honestly recall the video card and processor other than the latter being some dual core.
