Does anyone have any suggestions what to so with a spare Amiga 500?

I don't really want it as it takes up too much space but I don't really want to sell it at a loss, in fact I seem to have built up an irrational hatred for the thing.

So far my thoughts are:
1. Shove it up in the loft for the next 20+ years
2. Use it as a case for a time capsule and bury it in the garden for 50 years but it's not really watertight.
3. Use it as a ramp if I need to work in on the car...
4. Find a neighbour I don't like and set fire to it on their doorstep
5. Recreate THAT scene from Office Space with a couple of mates :thumbsup:

It's all fully working and TC has installed a 1.3/3.1 ROM switcher in it.

I honestly dislike all your options (1. might be the least bad though). I would add

6. Use it for games and/or demos
7. Sell it/give it away

and suggest you to pick one of them.
 
or send to me with the MSX :) i like free shipping hehe.

Fair enough, I'll tells the Wards lorry driver he can't tie it to the front of his lorry then... :thumbsdown:

I'll shove it on here for trade in the next day or so.
 
You can buy a kipper2k upgrade like me and turn it into a whdload gaming machine!!!
