The best part of that article is they "continued their actions after being warned by Brighton police." Niiiiceeee. "Hey, stop stealing!" Good work there officers!

Damn, I wish you didn't post AC, I was going to ask if I can use one monitor for both or if they use different monitors. Sorry if I seem uninformed on Amiga, its new to me in almost every sense.

Sweet man, thanks for the links! I'll check those out when I get out of work.

I posted this above, but you seem like another in-the-loop Amiga fan to ask, so I am reposting below:

For the collector / new to Amiga market, what would you recommend? I want to get a complete Amiga system, for gaming exclusively, but I always get tripped up in the model numbers (500, 1200, 3000, etc). Just something new to toy around with for a few months and add to my collection of gaming equipment. I had a Commodore 64 since it was released in the "C" format, and still have all of my equipment and software, but I was so jealous of the back-of-the-box screenshots for Amiga titles (we really couldn't afford an Amiga when they were new). I'd love to experience that first-hand, especially from some of the better houses such as Cinemaware. I'm just completely unsure what model to invest in.

You forgot to mention that the iRam DIMMs have rounded edges!

Wow, thanks for the link! I heard about this before, but didn't have the opportunity to check into it at that time, and have since forgotten. Many of their reward packages are really sweet!

I enjoyed Uncharted as well. In my trophy-whoring ways, I played the hell out of it, but beating it on the hardest difficulty drove me nuts and I gave up. It still haunts me. I remain impressed with those who can platinum it. Never played 2 or 3, mostly because of the required online trophies.

By the logic above, wouldn't it be pronounced Kensaw?

So, they don't catch as many fish?

That wasn't reallly that long ago. Barbados baby!

Always happens in the petroleum industry as well. Cartel collusion. War, summer travel season, weather creating shipping issues, refining problems, you name it. The price always goes up in large increments, and IF it comes down, never returns to its previous levels. I'm not amazed this happens in any other industry. Why should you stop reaping higher prices when supply returns?

Most "normal" Americans haven't lived abroad for 20 years. That being said, what you described does sound like a total hassle and I would never want to put up with it.

I've played lots of Syndicate, I know what corporations can accomplish!!!

I'm one of those strange purchasers, and I know there of more of you guys out there (c'mon chip in here!), that when I buy something new the first thing I do is put all the packaging, box, manuals, etc, right in the attic. I always think I might need some vintage PC gear here or there, so I've ended up with nearly everything I've purchased new at one time or another. After recently getting married, I had to trim down the collection a bit, and was shocked to find that eBay was an awesome outlet for what most people would consider just junk. I've always been an early adopter, and my items are largely the very first editions of anything, I've sold (working, of course) like new in box original Soundblaster, Disney Sound Source, Thunderboard, IBM PS/1 expansion bay, Soundblaster AWE32 (bidding war on that one), a large portion of my Commodore 64 software, VIC modem, Monster 3D, Stealth 3D, and Orchid video cards, packages of unopened Bonus (the brand) 5 1/4" floppies (who'd have thought?!?), external 1x SCSI CD-ROM drive, and the list goes on and on. That group alone, short a few hundred dollars in spending case, paid for me to honeymoon in Barbados. I haven't even gotten to my Roland sound gear, but I hate to part with my MT-32, SC-55 and LAPC-1. I always sit and debate on making a monster DOS box and not mess around with emulating anything on my gaming rig anymore, I'm just lazy as hell I guess. This poll really does remind me that its time to let go.
