It's been a while since I've posted (new job scramble and all), so I thought I'd say hi and share a random thought I had. Remember those old Zorro boards with a hard drive attached and RAM? I always wanted one of those, although in later PC-oriented years it seemed a little odd to do it that...

We didn't get quite that much snow here, but uh, week before last, we had a solid week of 20s (with a high of 26c on the Thursday), followed by some flurries and sub-zero temperatures the next week. A solid week of 20s in March is NOT normal Toronto weather AT ALL, and it flipped over from June...

I've ordered many items from AmigaKit; sometimes the picking and delivering process is a little slower than I'd like, but the shipment has always arrived in the end. :thumbsup:

AmiNeo, you should try Wing Commander 1. It's like .. attack of the pixels! WC1 & 2 did not involve an actual 3D rendering system. It drew scaled 2D sprites which would rotate in the most ugliest way. Still, it's rather fun blasting evil space kitties, even if you're not sure what you're...

AHA! So that's how you got so many... Now I just gotta figure out which ones are boys and which are girls and pair 'em up.. set up a small business on ebay selling the offspring as an Amiga dealer, and quit my day job! Woohoo! :thumbsup:

Items received as part of the big super bundle! Thanks Quarkx!

Ugh, Wow, they really are a class act, aren't they? :thumbsdown: I also like the 'make it up in volume' comment captured there. That's totally THIS line of thought: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0135.html Loss x great volume = great loss! Yay! :nod: 100% agree. I would have totally...

I think I've bolded the relevant parts. These products are really more modern-Mac-like than Amiga-like. A Mac Mini is just a $200-350 x86 PC laptop (depending on model) in a custom, badly designed case, special EFI rom, custom OS and no screen for $999. Looking for specs, I also found this at...

Duly noted! :) :o What the..? How did it end up with a flat rate and a percentage all at once? Mind you I'm supposed to be paying 0% for shipments from the US. Or maybe 13% if they think I should pay HST. I'm paying significantly more than than either of those figures! We do have two...

Sorry about that, I wasn't intending to put a value on the machine. I figured it was okay to state amount paid and such as the machine has an undisclosed amount of upgrades and extra bits included. (thus I figured it was specific to this one and only machine, and being the sole owner of the...

Death to customs!! I paid $200 CDN on an A4000 in a tower case conversion in customs alone. That was like xx% of it's purchase price. It was made in the bloody US. I bought it from the US. It was shipped to Canada. It's been out of production for something like twenty years. There's this...
