Amiga 500 to amiga 2000

[sk8erboy70]

My first amiga 500 was all broken. My second amiga 500 was like new but it crashes a lot. Now going to a amiga 2000 and its the best.

Could it be doomy again!!!

Just make sure the Amiga 2000 has ceramic "Military Spec" chips in it and also a Panasonic floppy and you will be all set.

Oh you guys!

I feel sorry for anybody new joining this week:

[color=000099]"Hi - I'm new to Amiga and just got an A2000.  Can you guy's tell me how t---"[/color]

[color=00CC00]"Doomy - get outta here!!"[/color]

[kd7ota]

Well, only one way to find out, have him reply and see how exactly he responds to his threads?

[FastRobPlus]

Or we'll start suspecting one another of being Doommy. :inquisitive:

Hmm... Ever notice how Shaf rarely posts recently but suddenly Doomy gets banned and Shaf re-appears...  
Come to think of it, I've never seen them in the same room together....

and Tj - it's awfuly convenient that you just happened to drive down and see Doomy, and that you live so close...

:inquisitive:

-edit-



The above post is meant as a joke only!  It's hard to convey humor in text sometimes.

[kd7ota]

Maybe some local school's have a different ISP and different numbers?  :-D

[TjLaZer]

What are you saying Rob?

I drove down because I do not trust anyone that accepts Cash only.  And $180 is a lot for me.  I also wanted to preserve the "Mint in box Amiga 600HD" I had just won on eBay, and not have it smashed or damaged.  Some people mail computers with the original box ONLY and send it off!  I didn't want that...  Well the 600HD was not as nice as I though, but atleast I got it, and apparently if I had mailed the $$ I would have probably not seen a thing...

[FastRobPlus]

I'm just kidding with ya!  

I just think it's funny now that Doomy is gone, we're all on Doomy-lookout!

Yeah - one of the long list of things that make collectors like you and me cringe.

Also, the senseless writing on the box.  Like the mint 1080 box I have that says "MONITOR" in huge black marker.  (I'd have thought the full size picture of the monitor would have been the giveaway there...)

Or the A1000 packaging I have that says "ATTIC" on all sides.

Sigh...

[Argus]

What happened to Doomy, er....BoingBoss?  How come he got banned?  I know he was kind of eccentric, etc...but banned?

[TjLaZer]

Yeah I hate that.  I am after a boxed 1200 now.  What all do you have Rob?

[FastRobPlus]

For Amiga?  Hmm...
The A1000 stuff, despite the "Attic" marking is my best.  Has all the polys, little read-me first type intserts, quick setup guides, etc.  The monitor even says "Seller - you must register this monitor with the EPA.  Do not sell to a consumer with this tag attached!"

For Atari, I have a pretty good XEGS.  

I *had* the original box for a NorthStar Horizon, but it was water damaged when I left it outside in the rain...

Who'd have thought it would rain here?  In Seattle?

[TjLaZer]

Ahhh rain in Seattle.  Yes nice and cool.

I have a boxed A500, A600, CD32, and A4000.  

I also have Ataris.  Loose 400/800/1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, boxed 130XE

Also boxed 520ST/1040STf, Mega ST2.  Loose Falcon030 and TT030.

[FastRobPlus]

You know,  I just might have a box for my 1200...
I know it sounds odd, but you jogged my memory.  I'll look the next time I'm on Bainbridge Island (where my really, really packed stuff is located)

I heard the Amiga 2000s mother wears combat boots.
