stop by the Amiga lounge

This  time I clicked on it just for the pic!  

BTW, how're you doing with that AA3000 that looked like it got buried in someone's back yard?  Any new pics for us?  

Last I heard from the owner, it was cleaned up, sold for a crazy amount and shipped to Europe somewhere. The owner didn't even have a chance to post it on ebay or anything. Someone he knows is very very wealthy and buys all the crazy rare stuff from him for a Mint.

Sweet!  Did you guys manage to get it working?

nope, the buyer bought it as is just cleaned the dirt off, from what I understand it was sold in less than 3 days after that picture was taken, Same buyer bought the C65 I believe.

The Countdown to New Years is on with many unmarked deals to be had. Also only 2 days left to vote for the "Girl" on the front page. So far there have been NO votes, so no girl anymore LOL.

I miss the old site, not that I hate the new one.
A while back, I believe you told us, where do the pictures come from?

The "Babe" photos are from a google image search. 99.9% of the Amiga photos for the store and such are from my personal collection and the for the most part are the exact items for sale, either scanned or photographed.

Hey bud!  Just a quick note.  I saw your blog about "When is DDR-3 RAM not DDR-3 ram?" and I've had the same problem.  I buy sticks of ram for my office, dozens at a time.  For the past few years I'd buy G.Skill F3-10666CL7Q-16GBXH to go in our Dell OptiPlex workstations.  One day a batch of it just wouldn't work.  No boot, no POST, just beeping.  Turns out after some back-and-forth with the manufacturer, they'd changed something in the "standard" and this "new DDR3" was no longer compatible with our "DDR3" motherboards.  

Looking at the date codes on the chips, I found that memory manufactured before 12/13 worked, memory manufactured after 1/14 did not.

*Insert a bunch of cursing from me here*

In any case, I'm confirming your issue.  Tested a variety of sticks from different manufacturers, Eventually found this Crucial ram that does work with our systems.  Maybe it will work for yours?

Cheers!

Thanks, I will pass that on to my webmaster who had the issue.

Since posting them on New Years day, I have dropped the Pre-order price on both the A2000 and the CDTV.
Remember if no one pre-orders it, the price will go up when it gets here after I put the work into them.
http://amigalounge.com/p653.html for the A2000
http://amigalounge.com/p654.html for the CDTV
Prices include shipping

[quarkx]

I have reduced World Wide  costs on both units- the world wide price includes shipping also

[quarkx]

I have further dropped the Pre-order prices on the cdtv and the A2000. Also today I have dropped the price on most of the boxed games. I have also dropped the deposit price on the A1200/A4000 (A couple of A1200s are expected really soon)

The webmaster has been busy today re-organizing the blogs so topics are easier to find and search for. We are looking at a new search feature soon. Meanwhile, I put some new stuff for sale on the front page. A few already went quickly.
