Well, yeah, they're not mutually exclusive, but he did specifically mention a Pegasos. If I misread his general thrust, though, my apologies.

While i will buy a NATAMI and Replay board i still would not sell my classic's. I probably will not use them as much as my NATAMI but i will still fire them up and use them. Point is i tried the sell everything route and it didn't work i ended up paying 4-6 times as much as i sold them for when the time came that i wanted to be back in the scene.... Like i said there is nothing like getting the old girls working after so long it just so satisfying.

Considering current pricing, I'd keep them too.
Its a two edged sword.
Sure you can cash in and get a few bucks (far less then their original price though)
AND should regret make you consider repurchase the cost could be quite high.

Just read the headline. Instantly a voice in my head said:

"Something wonderful has happened:"

"Your Amiga is alive!!!"

It took me a few seconds to realize that the phrase contiues like this:

"and, even better...Some of your disks are infected by a VIRUS*!!!
Another masterpiece of The Mega-Mighty SCA*!!"

Hope you don“t have this one :)

No, no viruses on my discs!

Oh, I don't have a scanner for the DPaintV manual. Even if I did, it'd take a LOT of scanning!
