1 x1A200 8mb with 030 bizzard board 64meg
1 x A1200

Welcome!!

To resonate... funny how so many kind of lost interest in Amiga stuff after Commodore and the few post owners botched and continue to botch everything up. Sooo many developers bailed when TI ditched their awesome 'puter - the 99/4A. A shame because think about it... here you are with a perfectly good appliance. Just because the manufacturer stopped making it, why do so many think it's useless all of a sudden? Not trying to lambast here, just (still) pissed at how the Amiga rags at the time... all they talked about was how crappy Commodore was handling things. Since the beginning of Amiga's release, Commodore was ripped on. Maybe they deserved some of it, but the magazines (AmigaWorld specifically) always had such a negative underlying tone about their future. And why stop publishing a magazine, just because the computer company is gone?? There were still thousands of users out there and tons of software, et al to be discovered. It's almost as if people couldn't wait to proclaim: "The Amiga is finally dead!"

Is an automobile useless after it's been discontinued (don't even go there, there's tons of replacement parts for your Miggy yet). Your CD player? An amplifier? Your stove? The list could go on and on... lol

Ironic how (and yeah, the community is "small", but...) the Amiga definitely lives on  :-)  

So does the TRS-80, the Apple ][, the Vic-20, The Commie64, TI-99/4A, etc.

BTW: Nice Clash reference  ;-)

I completly agree. I still wonder if what would of happened if they were still going strong today, An amiga on everyones desk instead of a soul less windows PC ?- it would of been more fun anyhow!
 
Maybe old Jack T should of stayed on at commodore after 83/84 hows things would be different now :)

No A4000 units at the moment, but we do have new boxed Amiga 1200s if that is of any help...

And of course we have many new A4000 expansions in stock.
