I was going to mention that. ?It's interesting to me that the later
amigas have been actually less reliable than the 1000 because of
leaking caps and that crappy battery. ?Cars have made it much (much)

Well, quite.
To be honest, I've not tried my Miggy 1200 in 4-5 years, but it was
fine when I last tried it, and it was pushing 20 then. I tend to find
1980s machines last better than 1990s / early noughties mass-produced
low-quality PCs.
