Any Amiga Christmas presents?
« on: December 25, 2017, 08:03:43 PM »
I have fond memories of some previous Amiga Christmas presents, back in the 90s: a 250 meg hard drive for my 1200, a Zappo CD-ROM drive (barely worked), a CD32.

But did any of you receive any exciting Amiga goodies today? Would love to hear what Santa/Father Christmas brought you!

Didn't receive it but did just order an Amiga X5000 for myself. I'm very excited to be able to run Amiga OS 4 on real hardware.

Got my left-handed girlfriend a left-handed version of the Arcade Evolution joystick.  She loves playing ElfMania.  :)

That will be a very exciting day when it arrives. May it give you all of that lovely Amiga-feeling.

No clue.  After exchanging a few emails asking for tracking numbers I gave up wondering if it would ever arrive and decided to just spend my time bitching about it in forums, instead --- Like a good Amiga user.

:laughing::laughing:

Figure if I ever want to read it I'll just buy a copy from amazon, like all the sensible folks did.  ;)
