True, but my sig is more reminiscent of what I used to punch into the C64's at K-mart when I was about 8 years old :-D

Oh, I hope you didn't chuck the old 1200s.  Sometime a close inspection with a magnifying glass reveals a broken trace on the 1200 mainboard (these are repairable even at home if you are patient).  A tired old Amiga is also like any older athlete (a good rub down with isopropyl can do wonders to clean contacts and invigorate her).

Nope, I didn't get rid of them.  I figured if nothing eles I can harvest them for spare parts.  Thanks for the tip on the traces though, I hadn't thought of that.

Hello B_Scotty,

I am somewhat in the same boat as you just getting back to using Amiga computers.  I have always kept an eye on what has been happening (mostly with the help of Amiga.org) in the world of Amiga, but have not been using mine for a few years now.  I can't remember exactly why, but I bought a brand new A1200 about 2 years ago and have not taken it out of the box yet. I guess it was to fill in a gap in my collection. There are only a few Amiga models that I don't have in my collection of 12 Amigas.

Amigadave,

I also have almost all of them.  All I am missing is the 3000T and 4000T, 500+ and 1500, but the last two were not avail in the USA and I own the base models anyhow.

Hi B_Scotty,

Welcome to Amiga Org.   :-D

I have always wanted the A3000T just for historical reasons.  Since I have towered both my A4000D's, the A4000T has less appeal to me.  I think I am going to pass on the A600 unless one is given to me.

There is a video guy that has, or had a shop not far from my city that supposedly has an Opal Vision card with the never released for production "Roaster" chip.  I would love to see what it can do, or better yet, pry it from his grasp with the right monetary persuasion.  From what I can remember, it was better than the Video Toaster in many ways.  At least that is what the vaporware advertisement claimed.
