here means "2GHz Pentium-4". Yes, sometimes I really want to
move, and I probably will, because this area doesn't support the
lifestyle that I want to live...which includes getting cool
computer hardware on a regular basis.
My ASR-33 came from Boston; I picked it up when I was up there
with a truck moving a mainframe for my employer. I'd have driven
up there just for that if I had to. I know YOU find a lot of
this stuff...I assure you that's not the norm. I sure wish it were!
Hmm, every time I see a deal on Amiga equipment it seems to be in
FL (all the good stuff you want is always somewhere else I guess).
Where?!!
But, admittedly I'm talking about stuff a good bit older than
that, like PDP-11s, Calcomp 565s, and ASR-33s.
I'd love to have an Amiga again. My boss is an Amiga nut; he
promised to give me a nice complete A1000 setup when he has some time
to put it all together and make it perfect. I'm looking forward to
adopting it.
