"I should buy an amiga" is the retrotech version of "I should buy a boat"
The funny thing is that I've tried to buy an amiga before. I talked to someone on craigslist about buying one and I had the money and everything, and they were like "Meet me at the Foobar Coffee on RoadName at 7"
I was there at 7pm. They weren't. I emailed them, and they said they meant 7am, and they'd already sold it in the meantime
but everything I've heard from Amiga Owners these days is that it seems like an infinite pit of money & time you have to pour repairs into
and I have plenty of those already
I'm only looking into getting an amiga as part of a distraction from what I'm supposed to be working on now
@foone @foone I lusted after Amigas back in the day but never made the leap; now that I've got the resources to just go buy one if I want, I am sometimes tempted. Then I remember how fucking DIFFERENT they are.
Anyway I've got too many irons in the fire. Better I spend the time finishing one of the two books I've got in progress, or building the household entertainment system. (Hey, wait, I could use an Ami-<SLAP!/>)
@foone I only briefly considered sending you my CD32…
