I sold my fully working A1200 with 80Mb hard disc for about... £20? With a stack of boxed games (admittedly few still worked). That was in 2003. Regret it now, even though I hadn't used it since 1996, well, apart from a week in June 2001. |

The accelerator card is a big chunk of the value, as it lets you play all the WHDLoad games from a hard drive. |

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but last night I downloaded a handy compilation including Rainbow Islands, Bubble Bobble and Parasol Stars for my CD32. These games are brilliant. I love my CD32. |

Poor cd32. Released at least a year too late and marketed by morons. How was it ever going to compete with the PlayStation? |

I sold my A1200T with '060 accelerator and Mediator PCI interface (+Voodoo3) for £400 in 2003. Get the impression I should have kept it, probably worth more than my house these days. |

There are some photos on Twitter but they're all pretty sterile. Knew I should have gone! Kind of glad there're still no photos of Jonathan Nash. He was my favourite writer in my teens, and I greatly enjoyed taking at surface the cartoon image he crafted of himself. There's too little whimsy in this hard, cynical world, and I honour him for it. Let me keep my little joyful mysteries. Glad it was a good time for all as well. Ahh, I miss AP.

I was meaning to ask this the other day. Many years ago now I procured an Amiga very late into its life. I would say, ooo, 1995? something like that. Any way, somewhere within the bog standard boot up there was an app that allowed you to type things and it would speak, much like Currah speech on the spectrum only miles better. In my boredom one day I decided to plug the Amiga into my tape recorder and type in "computer cusses" mainly about people's mothers and so on. The other night I was really laughing about it and was wondering if an emulator would do this? if so, what app is it that makes the Amiga do this? I'd love to recreate the sound files (I still remember what cusses they were and how they sounded, I'm so god damned mature). |

It's strange that you say it was a very late Amiga, because this feature was actually removed in Workbench 3 and onwards (possibly even 2.1), probably to save on license fees. Anyway, just boot up an unmodified Workbench disk, version 1.3 or 2.0, and there should be a program called Say in the Utilities drawer. The 2.0 version was improved quite a bit, so they don't sound the same. |

A naffo-o Android box that emulates the Amiga, yuck... (and only the Amiga 500??) With an Amiga-compatible floppy drive BUILT IN? Woah. Now that's a start. £95 for the Armiga, £135 for the floppy Armiga. Not really an impulse buy. How much for JUST the floppy drive bit? :) |

Ha ha ha, I did that too - I was copying (tape to tape on my 'ghetto blaster') the Foo Fighters first album* for my friend Brendan. Every now and then, I'd stop the tape and connect the stereo to the Amiga and have it say rude things like 'Brendan is a tramp' before going back to the music. It came as a big surprise, it was very funny and everyone appreciated the joke, even trampy Brendan. (* I think the other side was 'All Boro Kings' by Dog Eat Dog..... I'm not proud of buying that album, it was pants) Pic I found elsewhere:

I must have had loads of time on my hands years ago as I took a song that my old band had recorded on my multi track, muted the vocals and replaced them with the Amiga talking. I still have it somewhere... If there's any interest, I'll upload it. |
