The production company is expecting to ship them to me on Monday. They are partly assembled at the moment. It's only a few boards, so they have to squeeze them in around other things. The good news is as soon as I have tested them we will kick off the ramaining 50 odd of the first run.

When my wife questions me on why I need "yet another computer", I usually draw her attention to her shoe collection and ask her why she needs "yet another pair of shoes".  :D


That's going to cost you the price of a MiniMig in shoes too :P.

That's why my wife never gets to know how much the hardware I buy costs...

I don't complain about art supplies, she doesn't complain about computer hardware.

It's a great arrangement but it severely drains the bank account ;)

LOL.  I'm currently spending 3 weeks working in Fort Worth, TX driving around 16 land rig while the wife is currently visiting an old nurse friend of her's in England.  I think I've just earned a new Minimig.  :D

I never forgot having a chat with an old friend of mine about how his wife didn't want to let him buy a new A1200.  I explained that I just told mine the base price and then bought a CPU card and hard drive "on the side" and slipped them in while she was at work.  Unfortunately I wasn't aware that my ex-wife was standing quietly in the doorway listening.  Boy, did I get an arse-chewing (and no sex) that night!  :)

Great story...And that Darrin old chap is why I am not married. Women complain about that electroncis and stuff but sit em down in front of a 47" LCD with Oprah or a telenovela on and they're cool with it. The moment you connect an A1200 to it they recoil in horror as if you're raping a panda.

Also, good news on the boards Mike, looking forward to it all.

LOL.  You should have listened to what my wife had to say when I replaced the 42" plasma in the living room with a 46" and then carted off the 42" to my "man cave" to use as a "montor".  :D

I haven't forgot about testing that PAL CD32 either, I just need to get some time off work and clear some space.  :)

Well I can have sex whenever I want, but I'm not single!

Oh, hang on, I mean I have to have sex every time she wants, but then I'm not single.  :p

Get a real Amiga and run the wife as an emulation that you can pause whenever it gets on your nerves. Better yet...just press f12 and reset.

My girl was benched in front of the SX64 playing Hunchback and digs old retro games. I think that is priceless :-)

I had a pause button on my old A500 with one wire soldered straight onto the right pin on the CPU and the other straight onto a GND pin on the side bus...
