Amigas trashed!!!
« on: June 16, 2015, 10:00:19 PM »
Just had a conversation with someone who works at the local cable company. They are moving to a smaller building and 3 weeks ago "recycled" a whole room full of Amiga's and accessories. He came into the shop were I was working looking for an old G3 or G4 Mac Tower! I would have traded him :-). This is a guy who likes to play with "old stuff", but didn't think the Amiga's were "good for anything" (his quotes).

Unfortunately the recycling place is like a black hole.... once it goes in, nothing escapes! Apparently is some kind of Provincial law regarding privacy or some nonsense :-(.

If it's a recycling place, not a "dump", pretty good chance the items will show up on Ebay.  I've seen that quite a lot.  Crossing all my fingers & toes that they're not just sent to a landfill somewhere!

Hmm you should give the guy a slap for all of us.  Then show him the error of his ways.  
Key words here.. "didn't think.."
