Would be interested in a 1581 if one comes up seperately too.

Or sell the individual making the demands! Think about it - you can get rid of the double bed & replace it with a single - more room in the bedroom for the important vintage computers......

Don't laugh - it happens! (well, maybe not selling the trouble & strife that is....) Back in '88 I had a mate who ran another Amiga BBS, his wife objected to all the time he spent on the computer so she laid down an ultimatum - it was either the Amiga or her, he gave her her marching orders :lol:

I'm sorry, I just don't think you have your priorities right!

well it's been almost a month since this last post, I'm curious to know what happened to that kit, I read the details and man, I wish I was here when it started, therre might have not been alot left after I'd be done with it ;-).....

So what's the latest and greatest on this collection? Anyone know?

Mark Smith · October 04, 2006, 03:44 AM

I know :-)

ermmm .. managed to convice the woman that it is a necassary part of me and it will keep me happy and occupied ... basically I couldn't part with it and broke down and cried ;-)

*hands strandedinnz a hankerchief* it's ok man, life gets better (when you win arguments, even using this method ;-). Good for you... I don't have a C-128...but if I did, I wouldn't wanna part with it either. especially with the setup you seem to have...I'd give up my PC first ;-).

I mean, sure, windows, mac, all popular today, but is it just me or do today's computer lack the breakthrough that could happen back when the 128 surfaced? today, it's all just mac or PC (and amiga but it's not the same amiga ;-) we're not waiting for new breakthrough computers, we're waiting for the next version of ____________ <- fill in the blank kinda takes alot from the industry in my eye.
