Let's ask McEwen if he remembers where the last of the AI stock went and maybe we can just order them directly and cut out the middleman.

Doubt he'd know.  Mcewen claimed all stock of Amiga's were missing/stolen from the warehouses when he arrived in Germany to collect them.

Talk about being oversensitive.
Can't take a joke, can you?

Racialist? When did Greek become a race?

Greeks are good people, like anyone !

Its the banksters that are the problem ! If the banking cartels in the west werent so desperate to avoid losses there would be no problem with all these "saving plans". Its the western banks that the saving plans are for.

And I can understand Greeks being a little touchy with the serious situation there now.

While there's no scholarly consensus on whether or not racism per se extends to groups other than distinct races, we're not scholars. I believe any form of derogatory ethnic stereotyping would fall under "racism" as far this forum's rules are concerned and as a moderator, our judgements on the guidelines we have are final. It's says so in the T&C.

So, consider this a friendly warning. Joke or not, it's not cool and not welcome.

Dude. Chill out.
It was a f reaking joke. Nothing like other cultures don't do regularly.

And robbing someone blind is just a saying. It doesn't mean someone's a thief per se.
If it meant that, I'd better go and think about sueing my bank, my employer and my government.

As for my whereabouts: I'm an English residing in Germany. A large part of my ancestry is from different parts of Europe. Including but not limited to the Netherlands, Germany and Sicily. Nothing you could ever possibly say about any part of my ancestry is going to shock ,let alone hurt, me.

I don't even want a share in all this bloody national pride silliness. In the end, national pride is only serving the wealthy and powerful. It's a means of controlling the ignorant masses. That wholly unnecessary talk about cultural sensitivities you started pretty much proved this. Intellectual proficiency went wasted and you took precious time (time that could've been spent dealing with more severe -- not to say factual -- issues) not only from me but yourself as well.

@Karlos

Understood.
I'll try to stay away from the more "British" form of joke and mockery in the future, since it apparently does not sit well with everyone.

Mine says A1200 GR on both at the bottom of the A1200 and on the sticker at the top of the floppy disk drive. And my warranty sticker was broken.

One point of interest, what are the serial numbers of your A1200s? Mine is "Model A1200 ID No. 530318" and the sticker says:

A1200
GR
  5640696530318040068402

Btw; inside my unit there is a stamped date inside the top-cover (next to the LED-board) saying 05 DEC 1995. Only a couple of more days until the 17th birthday of my A1200! :knuddel:


Model A1200 ID No.530318

A1200 GR 2641296530318040084587 on bar code sticker

Made in France.

I guess there are various brand new Amiga parts all over the world.

Usually there are requirements by law in various countries that you have to warehouse spare parts for a certain amount of years for warranty purposes etc.

Considering Sony stopped stocking Blu-Ray drives and mainboards for first generation 60GB PS3 consoles only 3 years after the initial introduction, this time period can't be that long.

So at this point there's only one acceptable explanation for all this: Petro is a god/wizard. :)

Sony is still a functioning company (just about) and only needed to keep parts around until the end of the warranty period (then sold remaining parts to third party repair companies I imagine) - Commodore died, leaving warranty parts festering around the world that were never used to fix/replace dying A1200s (or A1200s turned out to be very reliable).

My post was in response to cameng's.

If there are indeed such laws, companies like Sony are either breaking them or the period as marked in those is rather short.

Quick question: Will the picture quality on a 28" CRT TV connected to the Amiga over an RGB Scart cable be any good (comparable to other devices -- like the Sega Genesis or the original XBOX -- connected that way)?

Ive tried and its pretty good by my standards :-D Atleast in the default resolution.

I had some problems with such a cable on a LCD TV and my A500 though.. White screen and audio filters smoked. Dont know if it was just the computer or something wrong with the cable. Had to replace mobo until I get the skills to solder new components on the A500 board.

I don't think I have been this excited since I bought my first A500
