@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Saturday, 27-Dec-2014 15:32:26 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @frankeckert take good care of the !Amiga 1200, I think they're still € 100 - 250 on eBay -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Friday, 26-Dec-2014 23:33:02 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @frankeckert Apple Lisa II 1985 - nice! But corrosion beyond repair. Actually not too far from my 1989 !Amiga 500 that's still working -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Saturday, 27-Dec-2014 13:32:23 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @frankeckert here it's A500, A600 (+HD +NIC), VIC20, Acorn BBC, Archimedes A3000, CPC464, and some ZX81 & Spectrums -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 15:34:47 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @nawi Wow! Pls,keep it safe & make sure there's no leaking battery to ruin the board. An !Amiga 3000ux is probably worth €€€... -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 19:54:46 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @nawi I read Sun offered Commodore a deal to market the A3000UX under the Sun label. Might have saved them from bankrupcy -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 20:05:30 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @frankeckert fortunately both my A600 & A500 (special edition) have a white painted casing http://qttr.at/gfp -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 20:10:23 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @frankeckert not bad already! A friend has (had?) an A1200 with 68060 and an extra 64 MB PS/2 RAM. A lot, back in the days. -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 20:12:42 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @frankeckert i think there's a product called RetroClean to restore the original colour of yellowed plastic -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 20:52:43 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @nawi AmigaOS was and still is awesome. There are a lot of people on youtube saying they still use their Amiga1200/4000 for daily use -

@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 21:16:00 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @jrm Many ppl saw the Amiga as a successor to the C64, but IMO the Amiga has more in common w/ a UNIX workstation than with the C64 -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 21:20:39 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @jrm I wrote a Morse decoder so I could decode weather news from the Mediterranean sea with my !Amiga 500 and an SSB !shortwave pocket radio -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Dec-2014 22:50:49 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @jrm not really news, rather info on the weather situation for ships in Mediterranean Sea, wind speeds, visibility, etc. -

And a boot disk. -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Thursday, 01-Jan-2015 10:08:28 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @bobjonkman you'd also need a monitor that's able to display the A500's video modes, or a tv modulator for ntsc or pal to connect a tv -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Thursday, 01-Jan-2015 10:27:28 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @bobjonkman you should have a look at the bottom expansion compartment,there's usually a NiCd battery causing corrosion on the expansion bd -
@mcscx@quitter.se (mcscx@quitter.se)'s status on Thursday, 01-Jan-2015 10:31:57 UTC @mcscx@quitter.se @bobjonkman and I don't know if the stuff leaking from NiCd batteries contains cadmium. Would be very toxic in that case
