I'm going to clean off my desk.

Push very hard for a true next generation OS for the new C=USA Amiga series.

Yes, but you can use an old PC case to clean a barn stall.

I already got mine, but any of you have anything for the new year?

Something to learn, something to do, something to build, something to kitbash ?
When i come back to my hometown im going to learn how to properly set up my A1200 with os3.9 and its updates.
And hopefully i get it working as it should.

And i will replace the hdd controller in my A500+ and get WB2.1 properly working in it.

And on top of that, i will continue to collect parts for my A2000.
Anyone got a 2060 for sale?

Yeah don't get fleeced into buying overpriced add-ons sold on ebay, that are probably covered in cobwebs and dust and on their last legs just as your paypal payment for £100s goes through to their bank account LOL

The one that immediately springs to mind is to not get as stupid drunk as I did this NYE  again. No real harm done, but it is a little embarassing, even if sort of amusing :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I have one additional resolution for myself:
 
I will do my hardest to stop comparing amiga to PC's. The old lady is her own thing, and should stand on her own legs

Consolidate my collection of non-essential (to my systems anyway) misc hardware, software and excess equipment... i.e. sell off a lot of Amiga stuff.
Finish installing software on my A4000 VT/Flyer and make the system stable and usable.
But first...
Install a heating system in the basement to keep from freezing my ass off while working on the VT/Flyer and sorting out stuff to sell.

Which leads me back to having the necessary funds to begin with...
Guess I'll just go down to the bar and have a drink instead.

:D

Finish up and organise the prizes to be sent off for the second Festive Games Competition.
Send off my broken CD32, A1200, A600, A2000, and A500 motherboards to AmigaManiac for repairs.
Set up a new forum for Amiga projects where developers, artists, musicians and other creative Amiga users can work on new programs, games, hardware and ideas without distractions.
On this new forum, host all of the current projects I'm working on including two Workbench distributions, several games, programs and hardware expansions.
Make more of an effort to bring together the international Amiga community to share their ideas and help turn them into reality.
Start publishing my original online comic series that I've been developing for years.
Begin work on the ultimate open-source Amiga game maker program capable of producing my dream game.
Finish my simple Quiz Game Maker (working title :p)
Release a few small programs I've been working on for inclusion with the Workbench distribution I'm helping with.
Bundle a few spare fully refurbished Amigas with plenty of cool software and a few useful hardware expansions and sell or give them away to people who will enjoy using them.
Help redesign the Aros mascot Kitty and flesh out her character enough for her to be used in some Aros games, and design her perfect kart for Super Tux Kart.

Make a boot disk for the A600 to automatically go online through the serial cable to the PC with IRC, MUD and Telnet clients ready to use.
Build an arcade cabinet with an Amiga inside. Possibly a cocktail cabinet for Deluxe Galaga among others and a 2-player Stunt Car Racer cabinet.
Plenty of other stuff too :D

Code as much as possible.
Do some chip modules.
Change the case of my A1.
